 FOREWORD

In most engineering development driven environment, the time and cost elements have
always been the primary focus of the stakeholders in the construction industry. The quality
aspect of the infrastructure and facilities built is presumably upheld in the natural course of
construction and supervision. However, persistent voices of dissent by public and users
seemingly points towards shortcomings in the quality of products built. In 2012, Jabatan Kerja
Raya Sarawak, under the new leadership of Datu Ir Hj. Zuraimi Bin Hj Sabki, refused to ignore
and be oblivion to the status quo level of quality of the construction project undertaken by
the organisation. Initiatives, under JKR Transformation Agenda 1.0, were rolled out in order
to instil awareness and appreciation to quality management, and also to restore order and to
realign the quality assurance agenda in construction. JKR Sarawak QAQC Guidelines was
drafted and implemented across the Department in the same year. The impact has been
tremendous. Notwithstanding that, previously the guidelines, together with contract
specifications and standards were purely activity-based in nature. Sensing its limitations, Datu
Ir Hj Zuraimi, prompted a process based approach to QAQC. Thus, Quality Hold Point System
(QHPS) was mooted and developed in 2016. This Handbook seeks to underline and explain
the principle and concept behind QHPS, which is now being implemented in the Department
state-wide. It also provides an easy step by step guide to implement the JKR Sarawak’s home
grown system. It is envisaged by with the QHPS, QAQC in the organisation will become more
robust and effective, producing better quality built infrastructure and facilities for the people
of Sarawak.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Department would like to accord its utmost gratitude to Ir. Dr. Ting Sim Nee, senior
lecturer of University Of Malaysia Sarawak for her valuable input and contribution in the
drafting of this Handbook.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 WHAT IS QUALITY

In construction industry, the products are the infrastructures and
facilitiessuch as road, building, wharf and jetty such as drainage,
sewerage, plants and many others. One of the biggest problems in the
construction industry worldwide is the resources and management
controls necessary to achieve adequate levels of quality in completed
projects. And when picking on what can be given away, quality is usually
the give away.

Quality is defined as meeting the requirement, expectation, and needs of

the client and is free from the defects, lacks and substantial variants.
There are standards needs to follow to satisfy the client requirements.
Quality of a product is often based on the standard (piawaian) of
product/service (produk/perkhimatan) as measured against other
product/service of a similar kind. It rrepresents the characteristics and
properties (ciri ciri) of products and/or services that are wanted and
valued by the customer, i.e. the needs and requirements of the
customer. At the fundamentals, standards are used determine the
quality.

Quality can be measured qualitatively or quantitatively and

measurement can be described in eight dimensions and different levels:

1
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

Level 1: Basic intended use and features with no defects and no

complaints
Level 2: Conformance to standards and specifications dictated by
statutory bodies and designers
Level 3: Long Durability
Level 4: Good performance, efficiency and operability
Level 5: High Reliability
Level 6: Serviceability in various environment
Level 7: Aesthetics, i.e. attractive to the eyes
Level 8: Perceived Quality deals with emotional and sensory
characteristics

At which ever level, the measure for ‘good quality’ and ‘poor quality’
product, depending on the standard/initial set requirements it is
measured against.Orwig and Brennan (2000) suggest that quality
planning is important because it:
 provides direction
 provides a structured framework
 reveals opportunities
 facilitates quality control and assurance

1.2 What is Quality Control

Control is to test or verify actual results by comparing it with the defined
standards.

2
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

Quality control (QC) is an activity or set of activities in sequence

(LANGKAH – LANGKAH) intended to ensure (MEMASTIKAN) that a
constructed product adheres (MENEPATI) to a defined set
of quality criteria and meets the requirements of the client or customer.
Quality criteria are standards stipulated in specification of the works.
Quality Control is a reactive process and is detection in nature. It
recognizes the defects. Quality Control has to complete after Quality
Assurance.
Thus, quality control can range from simple activity such as visual
inspection, examination, or a more complicated, lab testing.

1.3 Purpose of Quality Control

Quality control plays an important in construction project delivery as it
a) Ensure the material used, and works done are according to the
required specification
b) Ensure that the payment for the materials and works are justified,
according to Service Order, Quotation and Contract
c) Ensure that the works/facilities completed will function as it is
intended to be,
d) Ensure that it does not
i. deteriorates easily,
ii. deteriorates before its intended lifespan
iii. causes harm (mudarat) to properties and human lifes,

3
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

iv. cause time and inconveniences (kesusahan) with downtimes

e) Ensure the goodwill and reputation of those involved in the
construction process. Quality issues often causes reputation damage
and client losing confidence in the construction team; and in some
circumstances, disqualifying from future projects within the same
agencies.

2 LEVEL OF QUALITY CONTROL

As previously defined, QC is an activity or set of activities in ensuring the
compliance of product to a standard or specification. Such activity, or series of
activities can range from simple act of looking at the product to using set of
equipment to determine the properties of product.

Based on the level of complexity, QC for construction project can be classified

into four(4) levels
a) Visual inspection with or without checklist;
b) Inspection with measurement;
c) Examination of quality document or records;
d) Testing; eg. Lab orin-situ
a) VISUAL INSPECTION (PEMERIKSAAN SECARA MATA KASAR)
This is the most basic and simplest way of QC by just using the visual
sense of the inspectors. No tools are required at all. And at most a set of
checklist is used to ensure all properties are observed.

4
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

During the visual inspection, physical appearance of materials and

constructed works are observed; be it the color, features, appearance,
among others. Besides, in order to ensure quality in place, checking
should be made visually on whether there are cracks, contamination,
among others.

In certain cases, a pro forma checklist is required to ensure necessary

features are observed and to ensure all key elements are being visually
examined.

Figure 1: Example of Visual Inspection

5
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

b) INSPECTION WITH MEASUREMENT (PENGUKURAN)

This next level requires more than just visual observation.Some physical
examinations are conducted by measuring the constructed product with
measuring tools. The measurement is made on the physical properties
such as dimension, temperature and weight. Measuring tools and
equipment are used at this level, for instance, measuring tape,
thermometer, survey equipment and thickness gauge.

Physical properties of materials are checked, eg. Diameter of bars, weight

of hammer, platform survey, roofing sheet thickness. Figure 1 shows the
typical measuring tools.

Figure 2: Example of Tools Used for Measurement

c) EXAMINATION OF RECORDS (REKOD DAN SIJIL)

Many construction materials come with factory certificates, testing
report by third partyor the authorities. For example,
a) Sectional steels, eg. (JIS, MS, etc)

6
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

b) Building products/fittings
c) RC piles
d) Electrical products
The certificates or test reports normally show the compliant of the
materials to the relevant standards. Testing report by accredited testing
laboratories are preferred.
Besides testing certificates or reports, product warranty or installation
guarantee are also documents and records, which could prove the level
of compliant to standard and design requirement. Figure 3 shows a
typical compliant certificate issued by an accredited lab.

It has been enforced since 2015, that under CIDB Act 520 (amendment
2011), Schedule III, all construction materials used on sites must be
certified by CIDB with a Certificate Of Standard Compliant. Figure 4 shows
a typical certificate from CIDB.

Thus, at this level of quality control, the document and certificates of the
construction material to be used, or delivered to sites should be
examined by the supervision team as a mean to ascertain to quality of the
material is conforming to the specification and standards. The contractors
should be required to solicit these documents from the manufacturer or
supplier, for submission to the supervision team.

 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

d) LAB & FIELD TESTING (UJIAN BAHAN)

The most complicated QC method is to conduct testing on the
construction materials, or completed elements of the construction. The
testing method normally is derived from an internationally recognized
testing standard, where standard equipment and tools, and procedures
are defined clearly. The testing is done either in controlled laboratory
condition, or at the site, under field condition.

Most construction materials can be tested. It is a matter of whether the

test requires sophisticated tools and equipment or otherwise. Because of
the testing requirement, this QC method would normally cost more than
other level of QC, and more time spent as well.
In short, the level of Quality Control could be depicted in the Figure 5
below:

Visual Inspection

Inspection With
Measurement

Examination Of Record

Lab/Field Testing

Figure 5: Quality Control Methods at Different Level

9
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

The level and method of QC are dependent on the nature of materials as

well as the works done. Cost, time and practicality should be weighted to
decide on the level and method of QC. Some materials could only be
tested practically at source. Hence, the certificates of testing from the
accredited lab during delivery of materials suffice. Some works require
full scale loading testing, such as roof trusses. Thus, massive setup is
necessary and will incur high cost. Practically, correctness in installation
may be examined instead, to ensure quality.

3. KEY PROCESSES FOR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES (PROSES UTAMA

UNTUK AKTIVITI PEMBINAAN)
3.1 BASIC COMPONENTS IN CONSTRUCTION
The key components in ensuring quality in construction works can be
identified as
a) Manpower skill (in executing construction process)
b) Materials to form the permanent fixtures
c) Machines, which consists the many kind of tools, machineries and
equipment to be used by the skill manpower to construct

Figure 6: Key Components of Construction Processes

3.2 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (BAHAN BINAAN)

While the skill of manpower can be quite difficult and subjective to gauge
and the machineries are subject to the competency of the operators, the
quality of construction materials is more easily ascertained and
significantly affects to quality of end product. Thus, this QA system
proposed here focuses on controlling the quality of materials used.
However, the construction materials which do not form part of the end
product, or otherwise, recognised as for temporary works only are not
inclusive. In another word, temporary works are excluded in this
approach.

All Construction projects use all kinds of materials to be put together in

order to produce (MENGHASILKAN) another entity, or composite

11
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

materials, or at the end of the project, the facilities and

infrastructures.The materials used can be raw (ASLI) natural materials
such as soil, sand, aggregates and timber.The materials can also be
processed (KILANG) materials either from factory or other means, for
example, roofing sheet, paint, tiles and doors.

Every kind of construction projects uses different types of construction

materials. Typically, building construction projects will need materials
such as, Concrete, Steel bars, Roofing sheet, Paint, Tiles, Door, Windows,
etc. For road projects, the common materials used are soil, sand,
aggregates, concrete, steel bars, asphalt concrete and thermoplastic
paint. Likewise, for other infrastructure such as, reinforced concrete
bridge, RC wharf and jetty, and the likes, where concrete and steel bars.
If steel structures is constructed, steel sections will be the main material.

3.3 THE PROCESS FLOW OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

3.3.1 From the supply source to site
i. Before the contractor begins construction, he will source for the
construction materials needed in this projects –
SOURCE/SUPPLY(SUMBER)
ii. After he has confirmed his source/supply of mateirals, whether
from hardware retailer, or wholesaler, he will order the materials
in the right quantum, to be delivered to site –
DELIVERY(HANTARAN)

12
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

iii. The contract specification specifies the type, properties,

STANDARD of materials to be used, which he is obligated to comply
with.
iv. These information of the materials determine the standard and
quality of the end product

3.3.2 From the site storage to the platform

i. While the materials are being sourced, ordered and delivered to
site, the workers will start constructing a platform
ii. A plaform can be defined as any works which needs to be done
before subsequent works could be constructed or installed or built
on. It could be temporary work or permenant work.
iii. In order to proceed to construct/install, the platform must be
ready to be constructed on – PLATFORM READY (TAPAK)
iv. During the construction/installation process, certain procedures
are being followed, using correct tools/machines by the workers or
labourers – CONSTRUCTION/INSTALLATION (AKTIVITI
PEMBINAAN)
v. The requriement of the platform and the workmanship also are
spelt out in project specification.

3.3.3 Completion/payment
i. After the Contractor has completed the work, he will claim
payment for the works done – PAYMENT (BAYARAN)

13
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

ii. The project specification will usually specify the performance

standard requires for the finished product

Thus, in short, the process path of the raw construction materials untill
the end constructed product can be represented by the simple flow chart
below:

4. FUNCTION OF HOLD POINTS IN CONSTRUCTION

4.1 MEANING OF HOLD POINT
At a certain point or stage in the contruction, Contractor is held (tahan),
or NOT allowed to proceed with the next sequence of process BEFORE
and UNTILQuality Control is conducted to check and determine whether
the specification of the materials and works concerned are complied
with(KUALITI DIPERIKSA).

14
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

Contractor must fulfill the QC requirement and specification for the

particular material or/and work before he is allowed to proceed
(PEMATUHAN DIKEHENDAKI). The methods to conduct QC vary in levels,
and are in accordance with the nature of material and work, as explained
in Section 2 Figure 5 :

4.2 APPLICATION OF HOLD POINT

The point or stage where the Hold Point is applied, is at the key process
of the construction materials path which have been pre-identified, as in
Section 3.3.3 and Figure 7.

And the question to be asked is

The supervisor will request the contractor to seek approval from him on
type, model, made, manufacturer and supplier, whichever applicable, to
ensure that the contractor is ordering the correct materials, which

16
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

complies with the specification, BEFORE the contractor place his order. If
it complies, contractor will be allowed to proceed, or otherwise, to source
and seek approval till it is ascertained as in compliant.
This step is critical as it prevents non conforming materials from being
ordered and delivered to site. The QC methods at different level as
discussed in Section 2 Figure 5 can be used.

18
 JKR Sarawak Quality Hold Point System Handbook

The supervisor willrequest the contractor to show evidence that the

materials at site is complying to the specification. Or in another word,
they are exactly what have been approved at the first Hold Point. In case,
non conformity is noted, these materials must be rejected and removed
from site.

At this juncture, sample of materials may be extracted to be tested as well

as a mean of QC. Certificate of compliant for the batch delivered, delivery
docket, etc are evidences of QC method applied. This step aims at
ensuring the materials on site that will be used are in accordance with
what have been approved, or in compliant with specification. Otherwise,
if non compliance is detected only after construction has begun, where
the materials are used or installed, it is more difficult to undo or removed.
Time, and effort are wasted. The QC method at different level or method
discussed in Section 2 Figure 5 will be used.

Once the materials on site are checked and approved, the contractor can
proceed with constructing or installing the materials onto a platform, or
any position meant for the materials. However, the platform has to be
ready and in accordance with specfication also. Thus, the contractor is
HELD again, to allow the supervisor to apply QC method on the platform
as well,

•HOLD ON!!

20

a d ask this uestio …

IS THE PLATFORM READY, FOLLOWINGTHE SPECIFICATION ???

It is usually as this juncture, that the supervisor will resort to visual

inspection, or measurement to ascertain the conformity. For instance,
the formwork and reinforcement steel bars should be checked for
compliant to design drawings. In road works, the survey level or the
degree of compaction should be checked or tested.

This Hold Point is to ensure that those elements which will be concealed
are in order and in place, or otherwise, could not be inspected again later.
Apart from that, any non conformity and defective work could still be
reworked or corrected. The QC method at different method to be used
maybe as discussed in Section 2 Figure 5.

point. Instead, the contractor can commence his works, as long as his
workers and equipment and tools are ready. However, the supervisor
shall also exercise QC during the process of constructing and installing.
Usually, the supervisor shall do standing supervision, by visually
witnessing the process of construction.

The contractor is not being held at this point. Meaning, this is not a Hold

A simple checklist is used for QHPS. The blank form is prepared by the
supervision team at the beginning of the project. The type of scope to be
listed in the form shall fulfill the criteria below:
a) Refer to Bill Of Quantities
b) Tangible output of works are specified. NOT activities.
c) Temporary works are NOT listed. ONLY permenant works.
d) It should be filled in sequence of output
e) Sectional scope shall be used if works are repetitive, or over a long
long distance.
