Introduction
Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC)
Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) is a system or method to measure and evaluate the workmanship quality of a building construction work based on Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7:2006). QLASSIC enables the quality of workmanship between construction projects to be objectively compared through a scoring system.
QLASSIC SCOPE
QLASSIC sets out the standard on quality of workmanship for various construction elements of building construction work. The quality of workmanship of a construction work is assessed according to the requirement of the standard i.e., Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7:2006). Marks are awarded if the workmanship complies with the standard. These marks are then summed up to calculate the QLASSIC Score (%) for a the building construction project.
QLASSIC assessments are carried out through site inspection and use the principles of first time inspection. Construction works that are rectified after an assessment will not be re-assessed. The objective of this principle is to encourage the contractor to “Do Things Right the First Time and Every Time”.
