Excerpt from p.24 of the conference brochure explaining the workshop –
W10. Road Map to Construction Quality—A Case Study
A typical construction project is assembled from millions of pieces combined into tens of thousands of components by hundreds of craft workers employed by dozens of subcontractors. In such a process, the opportunity for failure and potential for mistakes are incalculable. Add to the equation rising owner expectations, growing complexities in the construction process, and challenges of time and cost pressures, and you have a ticking time bomb. The standard industry approach to ensure construction quality is to focus efforts on postconstruction quality controls. In this workshop, a panel of experts examines a different approach to quality that emphasizes getting it right the first time, which produces a significantly better outcome for all parties.
