Guide to Construction Quality (Site Production and Assembly)

The main focus of this guide is on how Quality Management is achieved during the site production process, including the requirements for ensuring quality is managed through the supply chain.

A transformation and improvement challenge is needed to bring quality to the fore for the construction industry. Quality engineering should be an integral part of the construction industry. The focus is away from checking and remedying defects, and towards defect prevention.

Site Management and Production Guide

The new breed of site managers must be professional, informed, and prepared to deal with uncertainty and risk, and the skills and competencies they need are reflected in this book.

Construction on site has become more complex, with more rules and regulations, and new ways of procuring projects. Site managers must ensure compliance with a host of regulations and requirements. Digitalisation has both simplified and complicated the processes. Increasing environmental requirements, legislation on health, safety, taxation, waste management, and employment, puts pressure on the site management team to ensure compliance, and an understanding of the implications on project delivery.

Keeping a project on-time and on-budget requires good site management, reliable planning, which depends upon decisions made on-the-spot to ‘solve’ unexpected problems. The site manager is required to have extensive ‘hard’ technical knowledge, to know when the work being done is right or wrong, and to have command of ‘soft’ skills such as leadership and people management. Team working and team leadership are ‘tested’ by the fragmentation of the industry, having to deal with a client and design team and a long and complex supply chain. The Site Management and Production Guide is an essential resource for construction site managers and a useful reference for other construction professionals such as site managers, construction managers, project managers, production teams and students.
