It's one thing to have the technology at your fingertips and use it to it's full extent. Some people just like to do things the way they have always done it, even if

it's inefficient, costly and not very accurate.

Total Quality Management

It has been estimated that approximately 10% of the cost of construction rework is caused by delays in detecting the defects. Timely and accurate quality management practices can hence save money and expedite project schedules.


Ref:David Arditi, H Murat Gunaydin, Total quality management in the construction process, 1997

Engagement of WorkersRegarding faults caused by a lack of

engagement, the workers were responsible for most faults, 70%, compared with the designers, 35% and the building site management, 42%.

This study shows that it is necessary to combine an effective quality system with increased information/training and measures to improve the engagement of various parties in the construction process.


Ref: Impact of Quality Management in the Swedish Construction Process

Quality InspectionQuality inspection is a set of

activities which include measuring, examining, testing, gauging one or more characteristics of the products and services and comparing all the results with specified requirements in order to access each characteristic through determining conformity. On the other hand, ‘Inspection’ works as an effective and efficient way of discovering defects of the product and service at the required level.


Quality AuditSystematic and independent examination to determine

whether quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives.

• To optimize the performance of the quality system• To follow up on the appropriateness of organizational planning• To monitor effectiveness of policy and procedure applications• To recommend and implement system improvements• To provide consistency among inspectors and projects• To analyze effectiveness of standard designs and specifications• To analyze and improve constructability of project documents• To provide information for life-cycle facility management• To determine training needs.


Quality Control


Quality control is concerned with operation techniques and activities that are used for checking and reviewing work in order to manage quality. Quality control involves product design, operation process and outputs to ensure all activities are mainly done according to the required standard. Moreover, quality control is a regulatory process required in an organization to achieve the quality requirements so as to meet the quality standards

Organizational level• At the organizational

level, QA activities ensure that the program or organization is successful by overseeing the system implementation necessary for individual projects in the program, and making sure activities have the resources they need to be successful.

Project Level• At the project level, QA

activities support the success of an individual project by ensuring that accurate information is channeled to the right people at the right time so that decision can be made during project implementation.

Quality Assurance QA

Quality Management ObjectivesZero defect (no defects on project hand-over)Identify and solve problems before customer

doesEstablish true quality control by making quality

“build in” and not “inspected in”.
