NCR stands for Nonconformance Report. Which option correctly states that?

• A. Nonconformance Report
• B. Noncompliance Record
• C. Notation of Construction Risk
• D. Normal Change Request

Answer: (A)

In construction quality management, a Nonconformance Report documents a deviation from contract requirements, drawings, specs, or approved procedures. It serves as a formal record that not only describes what doesn’t meet the approved criteria but also captures where it happened, when, who identified it, and the potential impact on quality, schedule, and cost. The NCR then drives corrective actions and disposition to prevent recurrence.

Thus, the term used for this formal documentation is Nonconformance Report. The other phrases don’t match the standard practice: Noncompliance Record could describe a similar issue but isn’t the established term; Notation of Construction Risk focuses on documenting risk rather than a specific deviation; Normal Change Request relates to changes in scope or design, not recording nonconforming work.
