The methodology also defines the standards of workmanship and requirements for
materials necessary for the work.
Scope
This procedure is applicable to all engineers, workmen, supervisors, inspectors and
quality control personnel engaged in the works for the Construction of High rise
residential apartments in Mumbai. It intends to correlate and control the tasks
pertaining to Quality Control and Materials testing in compliance with the
requirements. patience

Quality management System

Quality management system refers to all plans, processes and activities that are
developed to achieve the intended degree of conformance in the design and
execution of any project. The QMS concept focuses attention of the following
specific aspects of construction processes.
1. Construction is a one time activity. It affords no second chance of
modification, repair or rejection once the construction work is completed.
There is no scope for catching the defects after the construction is over.
Therefore

quality consciousness, skill and workers are essential in

achieving quality. Training, motivation

and commitment are the

primary requirement of quality construction.

2. With the increase in complexity and the size of construction operations, the
responsibility for ensuring quality has gradually shifted from the worker to
supervisor of inspection and later to the quality control department. This

Page 2 of 55

Assignment no. 2
Construction quality management
Registration no.

3. trend has to be reversed if quality is the goal. Responsibility to ensure

quality has to be shifted back to the worker at site and his supervisor.
4. It is a well known fact that the quality cannot be constructed. It has to be
designed into a project system. QMS therefore starts from the design stage
itself. Quality of design is the difference between various design of the
project for achieving the same end use and the most optimal design finally
selected. Thus economy, quality and safety are very closely interlinked in
construction process.
5. Quality is expensive. Quality decisions are based on trade-offs between cost
of construction and the benefits derived from the operations of facility. Once
the decision is taken, it has to be backed by appropriate staff strength,
infrastructure and support services. The management must therefore be
committed to quality, participate in all measures developed to achieve it and
lend support to QMS personnel.
6. QMS is the responsibility of the project authority. The owner or his
representative formulates the policy, determines the scope of quality
planning and management establishes the relationship between the various
participating organizations and delegates responsibility and authority to
them so that the quality objectives set by the owner are achieved.

Quality Control:
Quality control refers to the technical processes that gather, examine, analyse and
report

the

projects

progress and conformance with the performance

requirements. QC mainly relates to four basic functions:

Page 3 of 55

Assignment no. 2
Construction quality management
Registration no.

1. Setting up of standards and specifications.

2. Evaluating materials, processes and outputs through appropriate tests,
inspection etc.
3. Appraising failures to these standards and acting when standards are not
being adhered to.
4. Planning improvements in the standards and specifications.

Quality Control norms, techniques and procedures:

Inspection:
Once quality standards and other things are laid out inspection becomes a routine
matter. In any quality control programme actual inspection and measurement is an
undetachable factor, which is to be planned at properly to meet with the overall
objective

of

the quality control. Various stages of inspection should be

determined . Some of such stages could be following.

i.

Material inspection at suppliers end.

ii.

Material inspection at the stage of receipt.

iii.

Material inspection at the stage of issue.

iv.

Inspection of the process at the time of initial setting of

machine/equipment.

v.

Inspection of trial run batch.

vi.

Inspection while the execution is in progress.

vii.

Inspection of the finished process.

viii. Inspection before erection and commissioning.

ix.

Inspection of commissioning.

Inspection of machines and equipment commissioned.

Having decided various stages of inspection and various quality characteristics to

be inspected it is also important to decide who will inspect, when the inspection
will be carried out, how many units will be inspected, instruments to be used
required approval for acceptance.
While planning such inspection activities it is also important to decide what
information is to be given to the inspector at the time of inspection. Some of the
basic information required is design specifications, product specification, quality
characteristics, quality standards and tolerances available and the detailed
inspection procedures.
For total quality control the following six phases are necessary (6Cs)
i.

Comprehension

What is quality. It should be definable and

measureable.
ii.

Commitment

- Clarity of concept and policies organizations for it.

iii.

Competence

- Develop methods test procedures to evaluate quality

understand the price conformance to quality.

iv.

Communication -

Create awareness, resolve conflicts, coordinate

activities,
v.

Correction

- Solve problems for non conformance. They may be

due
to lack of attention rather than lack of knowledge or
lack of facilities.
vi.

Continuance

- Maintain its importance and do not complacent ensure

exposure to sustained programme.

Quality control standards and specifications

The quality of construction depends upon right material used, the correct methods
followed and produce end product of acceptable performance. Quality control
attempts to ensure just that much. The means of quality control are tests,
inspection , supervision and analysis of data etc. Quality tests are conducted in
laboratories and inspection and supervision are carried out on the site and the data
analysis is done by experts in office.
Specifications:
The project authorities prepare the process of working out specifications of various
facilities where concrete will be used. However, the standards and specifications
for concrete and its various ingredients are universally standardized and they are
required to be in conformity with same. Indian standards IS for concrete and its
basic ingredients viz cement aggregates coarse and fine, water admixtures and
various aspects of concreting, its placement and final acceptance should be as per
IS specifications.
Tests:
Tests are used to determine the various properties of the materials, which help in
their selection as well as for ascertaining the quality of final product. The test
Page 6 of 55

Assignment no. 2
Construction quality management
Registration no.
results are compared with the prescribed standards and specifications and
judgements are arrived at. Proper methods of sampling, prescribed procedures of
testing, well qualified and trained personnel for testing work and properly
equipped laboratories are necessary.
What to test:
The manufactured goods such as cement and steel carry their suppliers warrantee
but this does not mean that they are not to be tested. In case of materials like
aggregate and water the properties may vary widely over time and space and
proper selection has to done to meet the engineering requirements.
The raw materials are processed to obtain the final product. The processing need
to be tested and supervised carefully. Some intermediate process may not be
having tests and they cannot be tested and the inadequacies if any can known only
when the final product is tested. In such situation the testing of final product is
important.

Statistical Quality Control:

Total quality management addresses organizational quality from managerial and
philosophical viewpoint. TQM focuses on customer driven quality standards,
managerial leadership, continuous improvement, quality identified problems at the
source and quality made everyones responsibility. However, talking about solving
quality problems is not enough. We need specific tools that helps us make the right
quality decision. These tools comes from the area of statistics and are used to help
identify quality problems in the production process as well as in product itself.

Page 7 of 55

Assignment no. 2

Statistical quality control is the term used to describe the set of statistical tools
used by quality professionals. Statistical quality control can be devided into three
broad categories.

Descriptive Statistics:
Are used to describe quality characteristics and relationships. Included are
statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, the range and a measure of
distribution of data.
Statistical Process Control:
Involves inspecting a random sample of the output from a process and deciding
whether the process is producing products with characteristics that fall within a
predetermined range. SPC answer the questions whether the process is functioning
properly or not.
Acceptance Sampling:
Is the process of randomly inspecting a sample of goods and deciding whether to
accept the entire lot based on the results. Acceptance sampling determines whether
a batch of goods should be accepted or rejected.

Quality Assurance:
Quality assurance refers to the managerial processes which determine the
organizations design, objectives and resources, the project team, funding agencies,
performance standards and feedback on the project performance, appropriate
Page 8 of 55

Assignment no. 2

actions to deal with deviations and all steps necessary for promoting quality
awareness at all levels and in all parts of the project organizations.

A typical quality assurance programme addresses itself to the following.

1.

Organization structure of the project team and quality assurance

department.

2. Responsibilities and powers of the various personnel involved.

3. Identification of the coordinating personnel.
4. Quality and its programmes.
5. Quality education and awareness,
6. Quality circles.
7. Training.
8. Setting up of MIS for quality.
9. Resolution of technical differences and disputes.
10. Preparation of quality assurance manuals and their checklist.
11. Vendor survey procedures.
12. Vendor surveillance procedure
Quality assurance provides protection against quality problems through early
warnings of trouble ahead. Such early warnings play an important role in the
prevention of both internal and external problems. The assurance is provided from
objective evidence but the type of evidence differs widely according to persons
requiring the assurance and nature of product.
Page 9 of 55

Assignment no. 2

Registration no.
It need not be emphasized that quality assurance is an essential prerequisite
of all construction projects. Over years the accent on quality has graduated
progressively from simple Inspection to quality control to quality assurance
and to quality management. Whereas the limitations of inspections are quite

obvious, a quality control system includes testing of raw materials at selection

and processing stage, testing at various stages of production, acceptance and
feedback.

Management responsibilities:
Management Commitment:
Top management comprises of CEO, MD, all Directors, all VPs, and Functional
Heads of various departments at Head Office. The leadership (including Incharges / Managers / Heads) hold key positions at HO, and Project sites in a
matrix organizational structure.
