Know whether your quality program actually works.
Turnkeey provides independent QC review for industrial projects. Within the agreed scope, we compare selected procedures and records and, when we are on site, defined field observations, and hand you a plain-language report of what is working and what to fix first.
Earlier identification of gaps may reduce schedule disruption and correction costs.

Where an early review can help
Schedule
Earlier findings may provide more options for corrective action, before turnover or commissioning.
Rework
May reduce avoidable cutting out, redoing and retesting.
Payment and closeout
May identify record gaps that could affect handover or payment under the contract.
Owner confidence
A clear, sourced report in place of “it should have been done.”
Results depend on the project, the contract and how findings are acted on. No guarantee of schedule, cost, payment or acceptance.

Examples of requirements reviewed when they apply to the agreed scope. Engineering and Authorized Inspector decisions stay with the responsible parties.
A quality program can exist on paper and still fail in the field.
What goes wrong
Nobody is a villain. Each party assumes someone else owns the step, so steps fall between them, and the paperwork says “should have been done.” We check whether the evidence you supply documents what the procedures require, and report the gaps.
- No record that the check was actually made
- Inspection reports that only say “OK”
- Equipment documented as accepted, never watched at the factory
- A package finished while the record is not
What we do about it
We review selected procedures and records, talk to your people and, within the agreed scope, make defined observations in the field. You get a plain-language report: what is working, where the gaps are and what to fix first.
Approval, acceptance and code decisions stay with your authorized representative, engineer of record or, where the code requires one, the Authorized Inspector.
On site for field observation. Remote for records and program review.
On site
Field observation, shop and vendor surveillance, and coordination with NDE crews and the applicable owner, third-party or Authorized Inspector hold points. We state in writing what we examine or witness. On-site observations are defined and limited; they are not continuous inspection, engineering approval, certification, acceptance or stop-work authority.
Remote
For projects that prefer no one on site, or work that does not need it: we review procedures, inspection records, weld and material records, NDE reports and turnover packages, and talk with your team. A remote review does not assess field execution and carries no stop-work authority.
What we check.
Start with a health check, or choose the support the project needs. Each item is marked remote, on site, or either.
- On site or remote
QC program health check
An independent look at your quality program: procedures, inspection records, responsibilities and, when scoped on site, observed field practice. You receive a plain-language report of what works, where the gaps are and what to fix first. Read more
- Remote
QA/QC document review and audits
Weld packages, turnover packages, MTRs and NDE reports reviewed against your project and code requirements for apparent gaps and completeness, based on the documents you supply. Read more
- Remote
Turnover package development
Turnover packages compiled from your records, with MTRs, weld logs, NDE reports and pressure test records, organized for review and approval by your authorized representative. Read more
- Remote
WPS and PQR program support
Existing WPSs and PQRs reviewed against the applicable construction code and ASME Section IX, and We can assist in preparing draft WPS documentation from your approved technical inputs. You keep responsibility for code applicability, variables, qualification and authorization, and qualification testing stays with qualified testing providers.
- On site
Vendor and source surveillance
Defined fabrication and test points witnessed at the manufacturer, with a written record of what we observed.
- Remote
Vendor document review
Shop travelers, inspection and test plan records and code data packages reviewed before shipment, based on the documents you supply.
- Remote
Inspection data management
Setup and review of inspection data collection, RT percentage logs and weld tracking systems.
- On site or remote
NDE coordination
Required NDE coverage and scheduling coordinated, and reports reviewed for specified coverage and record completeness. Technique approval and personnel certification stay with the responsible Level III and you. Welding documentation review
- On site
Hold-point coordination
Liaison between contractors, owner representatives and, where the code requires one, the Authorized Inspector, on hold points and inspection requirements.
A defined review, not an open-ended engagement.
We check how your QC program is written, recorded and carried out, then report what works, where the gaps are and what to fix first. Watch a fictional example.
Scope the health check
We agree which procedures, records, activities and project requirements are included.
Review procedures and records
We compare the program requirements with inspection records, logs, reports and supporting evidence.
Review on site or remotely
On site: we state what we examine or witness. Remote: we check records and the program but do not assess field execution.
Issue the findings report
We explain what works, document each gap with its source and identify what should be addressed first.
Follow up and recheck
We review your response and, when requested, recheck updated records or defined work on site.

| Ref | Item | Finding | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | Remote Inspection procedure | Revision 6 requires a witness signature, but the current form has no witness field. | PR-04 §7.2; FRM-04 | Open |
| F-02 | Remote Inspection report IR-118 | The entry records “OK” but does not identify the acceptance criterion or the objective result supporting the disposition. | IR-118, row 12 | Review |
| F-03 | Remote Vendor pressure test | The procedure lists a witness point, but the supplied record does not identify a witness. | ITP-27 step 6; VT-027 | Client review |
| F-04 | On site Weld W-214 | The field identification observed on W-214 differs from the welder entry in the current weld log. | Site observation; WL-2301 row 44 | Open |
| F-05 | Remote Test gauge PG-42 | The calibration certificate supplied expired before the recorded test date. | CAL-42; TR-09 | Review |
| F-06 | Remote NDE release step | The procedure assigns a release step, but the project responsibility matrix names no owner for it. | PR-09 §5.4; matrix rev. 3 | Open |
Responsibility stays clear.
Findings are limited to what we examined
Our findings are limited to the agreed scope and the evidence examined. A remote review covers the records and the program. Turnkeey does not accept welds it has not examined and does not sign for work it did not inspect or supervise. “Independent” here means independent professional review within the agreed scope.
Your representative approves
Approval and sign-off stay with the party authorized by the contract, the governing code and the jurisdiction. Turnkeey does not replace your Authorized Inspector, engineer of record or third-party agency.
Software assists, a person checks
Drafting is assisted by software, including AI tools. We tell you before any client document would be processed by a third-party AI service, and we get your written permission first. The reviewer reviews issued findings against the source documents examined.

Turnkeey Consulting Inspection LLC is a Texas company, operating since 2018, that gives owners, contractors and vendors an independent check of their quality program, on site or remotely.
Saddam has more than 15 years across refinery turnarounds, capital projects, pipelines and pressure-vessel fabrication, and leads every review, so findings come from someone who has stood at the weld, not only read about it. Reports identify who performed each observation, and no one signs for work they did not examine. Saddam on LinkedIn

Questions buyers ask.
What is a QC program health check?
An independent review of how your quality program is written, recorded and, when scoped on site, carried out. You receive a plain-language report of what works, where the gaps are and what to fix first.
Can it be done remotely?
Yes. A remote review covers procedures, inspection records, weld and material records, NDE reports and turnover packages, plus calls with your team. It does not assess field execution and carries no stop-work authority. On-site observation is available when you want someone in the field.
What do you need from me to start?
A short description of the project, your milestone or closeout date, whether you prefer on site or remote, and what worries you most. Documents come later, after we agree a secure transfer method and confidentiality terms.
How soon can you start?
We aim to reply to every inquiry within one business day. Tell us your date and we will say honestly whether we can meet it.
Do you approve or certify the work?
No. We report findings tied to the evidence we examined. Your authorized representative, engineer or, where the code requires one, the Authorized Inspector approves.
How is confidential information handled?
Please do not email confidential or controlled documents until we confirm a secure transfer method and confidentiality terms. We tell you before any client document would be processed by a third-party AI service, and we get your written permission first.
What does it cost?
We agree the scope and fee with you in writing before any work starts or any documents are shared.
