| Summary: | Top management obligation towards quality
management is seen as one of the key factors in deciding its
success. The local construction industry of Pakistan is far away
from construction quality principles. In connection to this, the
current study attempts to indicate the significance of quality
management of Pakistani construction industry from the
perspective of top management engagement. The constructs were
extracted from published literature based on top management
engagement and investigated the top management’s engagement
towards quality administration in the construction industry.
Survey questionnaires were distributed among senior
management from the construction organizations registered with
Pakistan Engineering Counsel. From the results, it is
demonstrated that top management is willing to adopt most of the
constructs however, it is astonishing that the interest to
incorporate quality management in cost and time perspectives is
still lacking. Hence, the areas of quality are still a secondary
consideration for most of the top management. Therefore, it is the
need of hour that this attitude must be expanded to a more
agreeable level.
