Najib Outlines Three Criteria To Ensure Quality Projects
KUANTAN, May 26 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak outlined three criteria that must be given emphasis to ensure development projects being implemented met the stipulated standards and quality.
The Deputy Prime Minister said credible contractors, efficient project management and best maintenance schedules were crucial to ensure projects were implemented on schedule and complied with the required standards and quality.
These criteria were crucial to avoid problems like delays in completion of government projects and eventhough completed were plagued with problems as reported in the media, he said.
"We must engage reliable contractors with proven track record and strong financial standing, one who manages the project efficiently and adopts the best maintenance schedule," he said when handing over the Royal Malaysian Navy housing complex at the Marine Region One base at Taman Samudera here.
Of late the media has been highlighting defects in government buildings including at the RM270 million newly-opened Kuala Lumpur Court Complex which had cracks on the wall, leaking pipes and falling ceilings.
He cited PASDEC Corporation Sdn Bhd and SPPH Sdn Bhd, developers of the RMN Region One housing complex, which completed the project four months ahead of schedule, as examples of credible companies.

There are many determinant factors to quality project.Just one question: Do we have competent project managers managing our projects?
