This book discusses the relationship between construction quality
and the state of the Singapore national economy, and describes how
construction quality is affected as contracting firms strategically
manage issues relating to profitability and survivability during
economic boom and bust cycles. Adopting a three-pronged approach to
explain the key issues, the book first explains the effect of the
state of the Singapore national economy (boom or bust) on the
construction quality delivered by contracting firms. Secondly, it
explains how contracting firms respond to the performance of the
national economy through their dynamic bidding strategies, leading
to significant quality trade-offs in some instances, especially
when there is imprecise market information. Thirdly, it recommends
various strategic measures that key stakeholders and government
policy-makers can take to circumvent the quality trade-off in the
construction industry when faced with dynamic fluctuations in the
performance of the national economy. Although the book focuses on
Singapore, it appeals to a global audience since countries
worldwide (and their respective building-related stakeholders) face
the same issues in terms of the time-cost-quality trade-off
decision-making process involving the entire supply chain.
