Abstract

Quality has been a key issue in the construction industry since the late 1980s, with 37 % of all construction projects reporting major defects (Sullivan in J Manage Eng 27(4):210–219, 2010). Murray (1993) commented that the low level of quality may be attributable to the fact that the industry was impervious to modern change and was structured as if nothing had changed in the last 50 years. In fact, the construction industry consists of numerous parties, each of which has a role to play in ensuring the quality of the product. The poor performance of one party will affect the performance of the next party.
