AbstractBuildings are becoming higher and higher nowadays in Vietnam. In particularly, Ho - Chi - Minh construction industry has been modernized with sever al landmarks high - rise buildings. Construction of residential and office developments can be considered as the heart of the construction industry.

Investors keen to build all necessary faction industry within their developments. The reason is they target gain maximum return from their investment (IRR) within shortest duration. Thus, investors are very vigilant on common project objectives, such as Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety and Environment, (QCDSE). Such that investors expect contractors to complete their building projects within stipulated timeline and budget without diminishing the envi ronmental and safety standard. However, in the construction industry, all stakeholders more concentrate on their usual activities that often very traditional way of working. Therefore, they may have no attention on modern theories and practices that ca n be gained from textbooks or literature. As a result, their organization may have missed the benefits that can be acquired from the adaptation of Total Quality Management (TQM) system.
