Understanding the CQM Components will help in comprehending the CQM Framework and how to Apply CQM for any Construction Quality Program.
As part of the CQM Training, it is understood that all meetings and documentations collected on a Construction Project are to ensure quality performance in Construction Activities, Project Management, and finally the Business Administration of a Construction Project. Therefore, CQM Methodology and Framework emphasizes the Integrated Quality Management that Construction Project Management Professionalism ensures a successful Construction Quality Management Program!
CQM Components
Traditional CQM recommends planning meetings to review Quality Requirements as part of its Proactive approach to Plan Quality and has Three-Phase Meetings during the Construction phase for supervision and inspection to Control Quality, and Construction Documentations to verify Quality Assurance as part of its Quality Management System. However, CQM Methodology recommends that this effort be taken a step further to include the Quality Manager in the design and pre-construction phase for better integration of quality in the entire Construction Project Management Professional methodology.
As nicely put in this Engineering News Record article:
A successful quality program must have a director and be integrated into a firm’s business plan. Consistent implementation and enforcement are necessary. Training and mentoring newer staff, and internal document reviews from design development forward also are important.

In addition to Meetings, Documentations are an essential part of the CQM Methodology to track and verify steps taken to assure quality. Quality Assurance is performed by a multi-layered QMS system that Controls and Assures tasks based on the different roles as explained before.
Therefore, the CQM Methodology Components could be summarized in the following list:
- Risk Management & Construction Planning
- Training & Best Practice Updates
- Supervision & Control Inspections
- Verification & Assurance Documentation
- Audits & Knowledge Management
The above components will be executed during CQM Methodology Meetings and Apply CQM processes that must be properly documented as part of CQM Documentations to be shared with all appropriate stakeholders in a timely fashion.
