Quality management practises and managers’ perceptions of criteria necessary for a successful adoption of TQM were examined in a study of 300 enterprises registered with the Palestinian Contracting Union (PCU). For many years, India's building sector has been plagued by quality difficulties. A remarkable amount of the budget is spent each year on infrastructure and other development projects. Within the standard business for the attainment of construction contract, contractors who are keen to win offer, can attain contracts by submitting them at low prices, but at the danger of not being able to produce construction work which meets the standards and specification. Likewise, consultants may be under oppression to reduce the initial cost of construction and construction supervision so that contractors are not able to produce the required quality. Absence of quality in construction is exhibited in poor or non-sustainable workmanship, and risky structures. Since the quality outgrowth of the projects is not as stated by to required standards, defective construction takes place.Downloads
