Abstract

Construction industry plays an important role in the development of any country. The development of construction industry depends on the quality of construction projects. Quality is one of the critical factors in the success of construction projects. Improvement in the quality of construction projects is linked with quality management in the project life cycle. Although quality management at every stage of project life cycle is important but the quality management at the execution (construction) stage contributes significantly on final quality outcome of construction projects. This project mainly focuses the importance and factors that affects the quality management in the execution (construction) phase. The project also includes visiting of some construction companies and conducts the questionnaire survey, then analyse the difficulties (major factors) and the cost variance due to quality defect in quality management and suggests some proactive measures for the improvement of quality in the execution phase of construction projects.
