Quality control

In any building project, quality control is not just an administrative formality—it is an essential tool for ensuring the durability, safety, and long-term performance of the structure.


One of the most critical aspects of this control is the structural concrete. Concrete strength cannot be assessed by eye: it must be verified through standardized technical testing.


One of the most common controls is the concrete specimen compression test. During the execution phase, samples of the fresh concrete are taken on site and placed in cylindrical or prismatic molds. These specimens are preserved and later sent to a laboratory, where they are subjected to controlled pressure until they break.



This test determines whether the concrete placed on site meets the design strength specified in the project. If not, protocols for review, structural evaluation, and corrective measures—if needed—are activated.


At ARIET Studio, we work with a strong commitment to quality and technical rigor. We believe a good project doesn’t end at the drawing board—it is consolidated on site through proper technical supervision and trustworthy quality controls, providing confidence for both developers and technical teams.
