The Conceptual Relationship between Construction Quality and Economic Development

Abstract

The relationship between construction and economic development has been the subject of much study in Singapore. None has, however, shown the stages through which construction quality in the industry has evolved over the last 30 years nor the significant role played by the government in achieving quality construction among indigenous building firms. Explores the relationship between the Singapore economy and quality in the construction industry. The evidence documented suggests a link between construction quality and economic development in Singapore. Proposes a conceptual framework which depicts this relationship.
