application of QMS will save on the cost of repair that may arise due to the rejection of works or products that do not meet the requirements. Furthermore, preventing rejection and redoing of work will result in proper utilization of time and preventing delay. In general, QMS are essential for every organization. Appropriate establishment and implementation of QMS will assist organizations in thriving and meeting their customers’ expectations. Also, QMS will improve the organization's performance and reputation.
This paper summarizes the common procedures and measures used on construction sites to control the quality of executed works. The presence and implementation of a quality management system will ensure that the construction meets client requirements. The presence of a quality management system alone is not sufficient; the correct and strict implementation of a quality management system is substantial. The implementation of a quality management system in construction requires the collaboration of the client, contractor, and engineer (a client representative). The practical side of quality management systems is discussed in this paper, and the construction of a stormwater network in the UAE is taken as an example and case study.
This paper will focus mainly on the quality system in construction projects. A brief review and clarification of the different aspects of quality management systems in construction projects. The following points will be discussed:
This paper is mainly focused on quality in construction projects. Controlling the quality of construction projects will pass through various stages. And it is not limited to construction activities. The control of construction activities is not sufficient to produce a meticulous final product. A quality system should be implemented in every aspect of a project, such as the project document, materials, testing, construction process, etc. Involving a case study in this paper will assist in a better understanding of the quality management system at construction projects. Moreover, some examples of quality violations and the actions taken to correct the breach will be furnished as part of this study. The stormwater network was constructed as part of the development and construction of a new community. The stormwater network has a length of 22 km, and it involves the construction of all components of the stormwater network.
1. Introduction Quality is simply defined as the degree of fulfilling customers’ needs and requirements. It is essential to establish, implement, and continuously improve a quality management system. The presence and true application of the quality system will assist in achieving output products that satisfy the customer's requirements in the first place. Other indirect benefits of implementing a quality
