Abstract

Quality Assessment System (QLASSIC) was introduced in Malaysia in 2016 and the
Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) plans to enforce QLASSIC as mandatory
for all construction projects by the year 2020. However, there has been doubts whether this is
practical as the current rate of adoption is low. This research aims to study the practicality of
implementing QLASSIC on all construction projects by 2020. Quantitative approach has been
employed with the target respondents being G7 Contractors in Selangor .The results of this
research show that, the respondents feel that QLASSIC’s mandatory status should be delayed
beyond 2020,identify barriers to the implementation and provide suggestions to encourage its
adoption in the industry. This research was carried out in early 2019.
