| Abstract | n a perfect quality management system, changes sho uld be confined to the design phase of the construction project. However, in the reality the c hanges often happen during construction phase and cause serious disruption to the project b ecause the quality management in the design phase. Many researches showed that do the right thi ngs at the design phase can improve the overall project performance. The study focuses on t he role of quality management in the design phase of a construction project and the fact ors influencing on the quality management systems. Mendelsohn (1997) observed that up to 75% of the pr oblems happened on site were generated at the design phase. Therefore, eliminating these p roblems at the design phase can reduce the problems on site. (Causes of discrepancies between and construction by Faisal Manzoor Arain, Sadi Assaf, Low Sui Pheng). A systematic research on the effects of design in c onstruction was performed by Design Task Force of the CII, by which the design were evaluate d mainly on accuracy and usability. The quality of the design is very important as it influ ences on the quality of the whole project. The AQSC has published a guideline for quality system, in which “... it should assure that drawings and specifications provide a clear and cos t effective design definition that incorporates all applicable requirements” |
