1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Objectives of CONQUAS
The Construction Quality Assessment System or CONQUAS was
developed by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in
conjunction with the major public sector agencies and the various
leading industry professional bodies to measure the quality level
achieved in a completed project.
CONQUAS was designed with three objectives:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Structural Works,
Architectural Works and
Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Works.

2.1 Components to be assessed
The CONQUAS assessment is divided into three main components Structural Works, Architectural Works and M&E Works.
(a)
Structural Works.
The structural integrity of the building is of paramount importance
as the costs of failure and repairs are very significant. The
assessment of Structural Works comprises:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Architectural Works.
Architectural Works deals mainly with the finishes and
components. This is the part where the quality and standard of
workmanship are most visible. The assessment covers:
(i)
Page 3
CONQUAS 21
(ii)
Material & functional tests such as on window watertightness, wet area water-tightness test and adhesion of
internal wall tiles. There is also in-process assessment on
installation of waterproofing for internal wet areas.
Site
inspection
of
installed
works
before
embedded/concealed. Such items include ACMV
ductworks, electrical conduits, concealed pipes, etc.
(ii)
Site inspection of final installed works such as the AirHandling Unit (AHU), cooling tower, fire alarm control
panel, etc.

Note : In general, projects with central cooling system having cooling tower, chiller
system, etc are classified under CAT A. Otherwise, it will be classified under
CAT B. Appendix 5 provides a guides with listing of buildings under the various
categories.
2.4 Sampling
As it is impractical to assess all elements in a building, CONQUAS 21
uses a sampling system for the assessment. The sampling system,
which is mainly based on the gross floor area of the building, will ensure
that the assessment adequately represents the entire building.

* If total precast concrete volume exceeds 20% of total structural concrete volume,
assessment will be carried out for precast concrete construction. The points will be
distributed proportionately between formwork/rebar assessment and precast
concrete assessment based on the respective concrete volume percentage.

Under the material & functional tests, self-testing items like field window
water-tightness test for 25% of windows and 100% wet area watertightness test (including flat roof) and the use of pre-packed plaster for
all plastering works are based on declaration by the project Qualified
Person (QP). In general, declaration on passing for self-testing is based
on first-time-right basis.
