The book presents the development of the Construction Quality
Assessment System (CONQUAS), Singapore's de facto quality
performance measurement system, explains the application of the
Quality Management System (QMS) to manage CONQUAS and identifies 33
critical success factors (CSFs) for achieving high CONQUAS scores.
Through CONQUAS, the reader benefits from understanding how the
Singapore government developed and implemented the first objective
system for measuring what many building professionals have
perceived to be elusive quality standards in the construction
industry. The book presents both the theoretical concepts as well
as the practical aspects to achieving strategic Project Quality
Management that is anchored on the CSFs to building best practices.
To realistically reflect the practical aspects and challenging
issues faced by stakeholders in the construction industry,
questionnaire surveys were conducted with building professionals to
distinguish the importance level and extent of adoption of the 33
CSFs (identified from a comprehensive review of the extant
literature) in influencing and affecting the achievement of high
CONQUAS scores. These were further anchored by in-depth interviews
with quality experts in the Singapore construction industry to
provide a better understanding of issues relating to strategic
Project Quality Management. Collectively, the empirical findings
collated from the building professionals suggest that while the
CSFs identified are known tenets of quality, these were still not
being followed in their totality. A further case study was
conducted through a formal set of in-depth interviews with the
quality assurance team of a construction company who has direct
involvement before, during and after their tremendous improvements
in the CONQUAS scores attained. The strength of this book therefore
represents a true account and reflections of real-life practices
and experiences in the construction industry for contractors,
quality managers and policy-makers to learn from. Although the
context of this book relates to the Singapore experience, the
lessons and recommendations are equally relevant and applicable to
the global construction industry in both the developing and
developed countries whose stakeholders (in both the public and
private sectors) wish to understand how CONQUAS works, and how the
CSFs identified can likewise be implemented for strategic Project
Quality Management to building best practices. The book is
therefore of interests to researchers, academia and practitioners
in the construction industry as well as in other sectors of the
economy (in Singapore and other countries) where learning points
may be used for enhancing project quality management for buildings.
