Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works was designed and developed to enable the
user to achieve any of the following objectives:
a)
b)
to have a standard quality assessment system for quality of workmanship of building projects
c)
d)
e)
7UGQH3WCNKV[#UUGUUOGPV5[UVGOHQT$WKNFKPI%QPUVTWEVKQP9QTMU
Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works is intended to complement the normal
contractual drawings and specifications in a project. It is not intended to be used independently as
working specifications. Unless specified in the building contract, qualified persons should not use
Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works to decide if the building or parts of the
building project are in accordance with the relevant by-laws. It is still the responsibility of the qualified
person to ensure that the quality of the construction works conforms to approved standards, practices,
specifications and drawings, as specified in the contract.
5EQRGQH3WCNKV[#UUGUUOGPV5[UVGOHQT$WKNFKPI%QPUVTWEVKQP9QTMU
This standard sets out the quality of workmanship for the various aspects of the construction elements
for the general building works. The Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works covers
four main components, which are UVTWEVWTCNYQTMUCTEJKVGEVWTCNYQTMU/'YQTMUCPFGZVGTPCN
YQTMU Assessments on the workmanship are carried out based on CIS 7 standard and marks are
awarded if the workmanship complies with the quality standard. These marks are then summed up to
give a total quality score (%) for the building project.
However, the assessment excludes works such as piling, foundation and substructure works, which are
heavily equipment-based and called under separate contracts or subcontracts.
The building is assessed primarily on workmanship standards achieved through site inspection and field
testing. For structural and M&E works, assessment is carried out throughout the construction process.
For completed building projects, the assessment is done for architectural, M&E fittings and external
works.
Apart from site inspection on finishing works, the assessment also includes field tests, test results on
the materials and the functional performance of selected services and installations. These tests help to
ascertain the quality of building workmanship for occupants in relation to safety, comfort and aesthetics,
whereby, defects may surface only after sometime.
#UUGUUOGPVCRRTQCEJ
In line with the CIDB Act (Amendment 2011), it is a prerequisite that all projects, which applied for
QLASSIC assessment, submit a declaration document by the SO on the compliance to Section 33C of
the said act.
In general, the assessor determines the samples (elements or locations) to be assessed prior to each
assessment. The samples are selected from floor plans and site plans. The selected samples shall be
distributed as uniformly as possible throughout the project and construction stages. All locations are to
be prepared for the assessment.
The scoring will be done on the works that are inspected for the first time. Rectification and correction
carried out after the assessment will not be rescored. The objective of this practice is to encourage
contractors towards FQKPIVJKPIUTKIJVVJGTUVVKOGCPFGXGT[VKOG.

SECTION 2: QUALITY STANDARD
%QORQPGPVUVQDGCUUGUUGF
The quality standards for building construction work are divided into four main components:a)
Structural works
The structural integrity of the building is of paramount importance as the cost of failure and repairs are
very significant. The assessment of structural works comprises:
i)
Site inspection of reinforced concrete, structural steel and prestressed concrete structures
during construction
ii)
Test results of compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel reinforcement
iii)
Architectural works
Architectural works deal mainly with finishes. This is when the quality and standard of workmanship are
most visible.
Architectural works encompass floors, internal walls, ceilings, doors, windows, fixtures, external walls,
aprons, perimeter drains, structure car parks and car porches.
The quality standards for architectural works are given in Annex B.
c)
M&E works
The quality of M&E works is important in view of its increasingly high-cost proportion and its impact on
the performance of a building. The assessment covers electrical works, air-conditioning and mechanical
ventilation works (ACMV), fire protection works, sanitary and plumbing works, and basic M&E fittings.
The quality standards for M&E works are given in Annex C.
d)
External works
External works cover the general external work elements in building construction such as the link-way/
shelter, external drain, roadwork, car park on the ground, footpath, turfing, playground, court, gate,
fence, swimming pool, electrical substation, guard house and bin centre.
The quality standards for external works are given in Annex D.
3
SECTION 3: ASSESSMENT
The assessment for building construction work is carried out through a sampling and statistical approach.
9GKIJVCIG
The weightage for structural, architectural, M&E and external works are allocated in accordance to four
categories of buildings (see Table 1).

The weightage system is aimed at making the score quantitative and represent the quality of workmanship
of a building project. It has taken into consideration the distribution between the cost proportions of the
four components in the various buildings and their aesthetic considerations.
The total quality score of a building project is the sum of marks awarded to the four components in each
category of a building.
Each category of a building comprises as following:
i)
ii)
iii)

3.2
QLASSIC assessors
The QLASSIC assessors are accredited and regulated by CIDB. They are updated with the latest relevant
information on a regular basis to ensure consistency and effective implementation of the assessment.
5CORNKPI
As it is impractical to assess all elements in a building project, the assessment is carried out through
a sampling approach. The sampling, which is based on the gross floor area (GFA) for the building and
10 m length section or per location for the external works, is to ensure that the assessment adequately
represents the entire building project.
5VTWEVWTCNYQTMUCUUGUUOGPV
Assessment of structural works is carried out during construction of the building project. The assessment
covers performance testing.

Note:
If total precast concrete volume exceeds 20% of total structural concrete volume, assessment will be carried out for precast
concrete construction. The marks will be distributed proportionately between cast in-situ assessment and precast concrete
assessment based on the respective concrete volume percentage. The qualified person is required to declare the concrete
volume for reinforced concrete and precast concrete construction.
For a typical reinforced concrete structure, selection of samples for assessment is based on Table 3.
Each sample represents a beam, column, slab or reinforced concrete wall.

1. The computed number of elements to be checked must be evenly distributed throughout the entire block and cover
at least 50% of the floors in a block. It should also, as far as possible, cover the different types of structural elements.
2. Concrete compressive and steel reinforcement tensile strength - self testing with declaration by qualified person.
On-site verification by assessor.
The resulting scores for precast and finished concrete will be the sum of the number of checks that meet
the standards.
There is no assessment of precast components at the precast yard. The assessment is applicable for all
types of precast components at site.
The assessment of the non-destructive tests, i.e., on concrete uniformity and cover for steel reinforcement,
is to minimise the risk of carbonation and steel corrosion, which affect the durability of the concrete
structures.
If the structural works consist of structural steelworks, which constitute more than 20% of the structural
cost, assessment will be required for the latter and the marks will be distributed proportionately. This
applies to prestressing works as well. In any case, the distribution should follow the cost composition for
these three types of structural works in the projects.
The weightage for structural steel works and prestressed concrete are allocated as per Table 4 and
Table 5. If the structural steel in all structural works is to be casted, the assessment shall be performed
prior to the covered works.

1. GFA means Gross Floor Area.
2. This sampling guideline is not applicable to mock-up unit/sample unit. It requires a full assessment to be carried out.
A location for Internal Finishes assessment is a functional space of a building such as room, hall, toilet,
kitchen, corridor or lobby. Locations are further categorised into three types:
-
Principal locations are major functional places such as halls and rooms
Circulation locations are passages and areas of human traffic such as lift lobbies, corridors and
staircases
Service locations are utility areas such as toilets, kitchens, balconies and yards
The total number of locations will be distributed according to Principal, Circulation and Service
based on the percentage set out in the four categories of buildings in Table 9.
Scoring of internal finishes is based on the defects groups shown in Annex E Defects Group for
Assessment of Architectural Works (Internal Finishes). In general, any item which is not available in
a project will not be considered for scoring. For such cases, the architectural score will be prorated
accordingly.

An item under assessment will be considered to have failed if it does not meet the standards. In addition,
any item found to be defective functionally such as evidence of water seepage in the window, slab,
ceiling or roof, is considered to have failed the assessment. Likewise for a particular defect that is found
excessive in an item (for instance, excessive cracks on a wall).
For the assessment of external wall, a minimum 50% of the total number of building will be assessed.
For a building, the external wall will be divided into four walls for assessment.
The use of skim coat or prepacked plaster for all plastering works and wet area water tightness test
(WTT) are based on the declaration by the project QP. Further site evidences of WTT need to be
provided.
