Construction projects involve many participants, including the client, designers, contractors, and many other construction-related industry professionals. Each of these participants is involved in the implementation of quality in construction projects. These participants, in addition to the “other players” involved in the construction process, influence and depend on each other. As a result, construction projects are more complex and technical, requiring extensive efforts to reduce rework and costs associated with time, materials, and technology.
The first edition published in 2010. The response was encouraging and many people appreciated a book that was dedicated to quality management in construction projects. Since it published, ISO 9000: 2008 has been revised and ISO 9000: 2015 has published. The new edition will focus on risk-based thinking which must be considered from the beginning and throughout the project life cycle. There are quality-related topics such as Customer Relationship, Supplier Management, Risk Management, Quality Audits, Tools for Construction Projects, and Quality Management that were not covered in the first edition. Furthermore, some figures and tables needed to be updated to make the book more comprehensive.
