Here is the ultimate handbook for engineers, architects,contractors, specifications workers, and hardware managers who needto deliver products and services at a consistently high level ofquality. It introduces ISO 9000, a proven method of building aquality track record that will stand up under the closest scrutinyeven in the most competitive environments. ISO 9000 in Construction enables construction professionals--fromarchitects and engineers to contractors and suppliers--to developquality standards and procedures precisely suited to theirparticular needs and responsibilities. It offers step-by-stepinstructions on the implementation and management of an ISO 9000quality assurance system and demonstrates how the system puts thequality-management process into effect before work begins anddetects and corrects problems before they reach disastrousproportions. The book introduces the 20 basic elements of ISO 9000 and describeshow each can be implemented in a wide array of construction-relatedcompanies. It coaches readers in the development of qualitymanuals, general quality procedures, work instructions, and theforms that are used in a quality assurance system. Numerous casestudies demonstrate the ability of ISO 9000 to improve a company'squality performance, avoid costly errors that erode profits, andproduce satisfied customers eager to use the company's servicesagain. Companies with ISO 9000 certification are already given contractpreference in Europe and Australia. It is likely that within a fewyears the same will be true in North America. This book helpsconstruction-related firms get a head start on ISO 9000 compliancewhile raising their performance levels, improving efficiency andproductivity, and assuring a fair profit from their goods andservices. The only ISO 9000 book tailor-made for the construction industry .. . ISO 9000 compliance is rapidly becoming a prerequisite forcompanies seeking international construction contracts, and thesame may soon be true for firms operating solely within NorthAmerica. Until now, however, no book has approached ISO 9000 fromthe unique point of view of the construction industry and relatedfields. This indispensable handbook offers a comprehensive, step-by-stepinterpretation of ISO 9000 quality standards and theirimplementation in the construction industry. This remarkably usefulguide * Introduces ISO 9000 concepts and explains how they apply to allplayers in the construction industry, from architects, tocontractors, to suppliers * Explains how each of the standard's 20 elements is implemented inthe various construction-related manufacturing and servicecompanies * Describes the development of quality manuals, general qualityprocedures, work instructions, and forms needed to implement aquality-assurance system * Provides case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of ISO9000 standards * Supplies numerous forms, checklists, tables, and illustrations tohelp readers understand and apply the requirements For architects, engineers, contractors, specifications workers,hardware managers, and other professionals in construction-relatedindustries, ISO 9000 in Construction is the key to achieving moreconsistent performance levels, improved efficiency andproductivity, a solid reputation for quality, and a sharpercompetitive edge.

This book examines the various quality management systems applied to the construction industry in Hong Kong and other parts of the world. Hong Kong's experience is particularly important because it plays a leading role in construction quality management globally. The text traces the change from quality control (QC) practice in the 1970s and 1980s, to the quality assurance (QA) concept in the 1990s, and finally to the emerging total quality management (TQM) philosophy. All the tools and techniques used in relation to construction quality management are discussed in detail in the 12 chapters.

The need for quality assurance in construction is now widely accepted. As a result, pressure is currently being applied to contractors and those offering professional services to demonstrate QA capability prior to commission. This book, written by experts in the field of quality management, shows how construction companies can effectively apply QA within their own organization. It pinpoints the real benefits to be gained from developing well-structured systems and offers practical guidance on implementation techniques. Inevitably, quality management standards play an important role in helping to define the requirements of any QA system. With this in mind the authors provide a detailed analysis of ISO 9000 - 1994 and its implementation. The text is complemented by numerous diagrams and examples and is essential reading for all construction professionals concerned with quality.

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.
