Quality
What is Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC)
Quality remains one of the most important parameters in construction, alongside time and cost. However, quality is subjective and it is difficult to quantify.
CIDB, with working groups consisting of public and private stakeholders, in 2005, have put together a construction industry standard or CIS on the base quality requirement for the industry.
The result was the creation of what is called the Quality Assessment System in Construction or QLASSIC (Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works) (CIS 7:2014).
What is 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 Objectives
- To benchmark the quality of workmanship of the construction industry.
- To establish a standard quality assessment system on quality of workmanship of construction work
- To assess the quality of workmanship of a construction project based on the relevant approved standard
- To be used as a criterion to evaluate the performance of contractors based on quality of workmanship
- To compile data for statistical analysis
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".

QUALITY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IN CONSTRUCTION (QLASSIC)
QLASSIC is a certification scheme developed by CIDB and assessment is carried out based on the Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7) to measure the quality level achieved in a completed project. As part of CIDB efforts in ensuring and delivering high-quality level achieved in completed projects as reflected in high QLASSIC score of projects as reflected in high QLASSIC scores of projects, QLASSIC Assessor Course was introduced to the industry. This course provides knowledge to enable participants to system or method to measure and evaluate the workmanship quality of a building construction work based on Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7). QLASSIC empowers the quality of workmanship between construction projects to be objectively compared through a scoring system.
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
- Impart knowledge of QLASSIC assessment processes on sampling, site assessment, and score calculation;
- Apply the correct procedure to carry out an assessment in accordance with CIS 7 requirements;
- Use relevant knowledge to identify defects and non-defects based on the inspection criteria;
- Use measuring techniques with the correct assessment tools
Target Participants: Architect, Site Supervisor, QA QC Executive, Project Clients, Architect, Inspector of Works, QA QC Manager, Technical Assistant, Engineer, Project Manager.
Entry Requirement:
- Minimum of at least 2 years of experience in the construction field
- Working as technical personnel involved with monitoring and supervision work and site experience
