CONQUAS Enhancement Series 

Good Industry Practices Guide Book

The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has been promoting the use of Construction Quality Assessment System or CONQUAS as the de facto national yardstick for measuring the workmanship quality of building projects. To meet the rising expectation of the homeowners, the Quality Mark (QM) Scheme was launched in July 2002 to propel the industry workmanship standards to a greater height.

To complement this, BCA has developed a series of publications called Good Industry Practices Guides . The objective of these guides is to share with the industry good work practices adopted by contractors and practitioners who are able to consistently deliver high quality work.

BCA Construction Quality Assessment System CONQUAS

-

Quality workmanship is important in today's construction industry. The high quality achieved in building projects ensures future marketability and enhances the confidence of clients.

The QLASSIC is a quality assessment system developed by Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), Malaysia whereas CONQUAS® is from Building Construction Authority (BCA), Singapore. Both quality assessment systems are widely used in Malaysia to measure quality level achieved on completed building projects.

The Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS â), introduced in Singapore since 1989, serves as a standard assessment system on the quality of building projects. A defacto national yardstick for the industry, CONQUAS â has been periodically fine-tuned to keep pace with changes in technology and quality demands of a more sophisticated population. In 1998, BCA introduced a number of new features to CONQUAS â resulting in the launch of CONQUAS â 21. Such refinements make CONQUAS â scoring more comprehensive and customer oriented. The latest CONQUASâ 8th edition was launched on 31 October 2012 to promote design and materials which support both high quality and productivity.

By using CONQUAS â as a standardized method of quality assessment, developers are able to use the CONQUAS â score to set targets for contractors to achieve and also assess the quality of the finished building.
