Quality Projects

Qual­ity Projects was founded in 2001 by Matthew Weaver in Port­land, Ore­gon.  The com­pany relo­cated to Texas in 2002, then to New York in 2005, and Vir­ginia in August 2010.  Qual­ity Projects is a pri­vately held Lim­ited Lia­bil­ity Cor­po­ra­tion orga­nized in New York and pend­ing in Vir­ginia.  It is a veteran-​​owned small business.

Matthew founded Qual­ity Projects on the prin­ci­ple that suc­cess­ful projects don’t hap­pen by chance.  Our goal is to help you com­plete your projects suc­cess­fully by deliv­er­ing qual­ity ser­vices to you with a sim­ple and direct phi­los­o­phy and ethic:

1. Say what we do, do what we say, and prove it.
    
2. Be hon­est, respect­ful, and diligent.

We apply lead­ing indus­try best prac­tices and sus­tain a strong com­mit­ment to qual­ity through imple­men­ta­tion of ISO-​​9001 and CMMI.  We also apply basic project man­age­ment prin­ci­ples as orga­nized by PMI’s Project Man­age­ment Body of Knowl­edge.  The bot­tom line is that we:

1. Are delib­er­ate in our approach;
    
2. Apply mea­sur­able struc­ture and mile­stones;
    
3. Con­tin­u­ally eval­u­ate, adjust, and improve upon every aspect of our work

Our qual­ity objec­tives are:

• Main­tain a for­mal qual­ity sys­tem meet­ing basic ISO-​​9001 require­ments.
   
• Pro­mote an atmos­phere of con­tin­u­ous process improve­ment and prob­lem pre­ven­tion.
   
• Empower employ­ees to help improve the sys­tems that affect their work.
   
• Pro­vide edu­ca­tion and train­ing to all employ­ees to sup­port their health, wel­fare, and safety.
   
• Com­mu­ni­cate our qual­ity objec­tives to all employees.

Sus­tain­ing com­pany poli­cies and prac­tices include:

• Buy Amer­i­can, hire Amer­i­can. We give pref­er­ence to American-​​made prod­ucts and only hire U.S. cit­i­zens and other indi­vid­u­als legally autho­rized to work in the U.S. The com­pany does not hire or use H1B work­ers, nor does it con­tract work off­shore.
   
• Qual­ity Projects is com­mit­ted in its con­tract­ing and employ­ment to recruit, employ, train, com­pen­sate, and pro­mote with­out regard to race, color, age, sex, ances­try, mar­i­tal sta­tus, reli­gion, national ori­gin, dis­abil­ity, sex­ual ori­en­ta­tion, vet­eran sta­tus, or any other clas­si­fi­ca­tion pro­tected by state or fed­eral law.
   
• All client work is pref­aced with a writ­ten con­tact, state­ment of work, and other doc­u­ments as may be nec­es­sary to ensure mutual under­stand­ing and agree­ment about the work to be done and terms and con­di­tions that apply.
   
• Qual­ity Projects plans and exe­cutes all projects and client work using indus­try best prac­tices to achieve suc­cess within bud­get and on time. Please click Best Prac­tices for more infor­ma­tion.
