Construction boom is going on in the world at the moment. In India also many residential houses are being constructed, offices and industrial buildings are being built, malls for shopping are being built. As the population is increasing and the space for construction is limited and a fast economic growth rate is taking place in country, with growth in country we expect a scenario to go for higher buildings demolishing the old ones and also to have more roads and over bridges to meet increasing demand of connectivity. But the growth should be sustainable for that its needed to use, optimum use of limited land space and natural resources . Infrastructure development is going on both in public and private sectors. With such increase in activities of construction, there comes the prime question on the quality of materials that are being used for construction and the more professional question comes regarding the factors that really affect the quality in construction. Many constructed earlier old buildings in major cities of India are not resistant to earthquake. Also many bridges also have limited earthquake resistance. Many newly constructed building collapsed recently and also newly bridge constructed collapse have pointed out limitations the quality of finished constructed structures with respect to structure design , method of construction implemented, construction arrangement done, supervision of construction work done, maintenance and use of facilities construction. All these are very important not only to increase the safety but also to increase the life cycle benefits of the structure. Due to all these the customer will get the ultimate benefits when these important issues are properly addressed during execution stage of construction. When a construction time or a post construction disaster strikes, immediately there develops an apprehension regarding quality of the finished structure, we often want to hint at the use of materials of poor quality and supervision. The total extent of quality control, in fact include the (i) Quality of materials in construction used (ii) Finished construction element’s quality (iii) Equipment quality and arrangements used during construction stage,(iv) Quality of construction also depends upon method adopted and its sequence, (v) Quality of safety practice exercised during construction.
