Project Quality Responsibilities

The project owner delegated the project quality responsibility to management levels of the project. In order to construct a good house, the project contractor, supervisory team, and engineering manager will remain responsible. The project contractor will ensure that the project outcomes effectively represent the owner specifications (Kerzner, 2018). On the other hand, the project manager will oversee the speed, efficiency, and economical completion of the overall project to avoid any unnecessary delay. Moreover, the engineering manager will ensure the project quality by continuous evaluation of project execution plan, construction process, and engineering codes and standards (Nicholas, 2017).

Quality Criteria

The quality of new house will judge on the basis of below-mentioned aspects:

Quality assurance Criteria	Key aspects
In General	Age of the building Building layout Building size and type
	The condition of Structure Interior (Oakland, 2017)
