| Abstract | In construction company especially building sector, there are huge amount of investment by developer while economics expansion; as well, intelligently spending the budget with refined contractor must be concerned. It is the most important for building contractors to improve or change their operational system in order to compete with others. The sample contractor in Thailand is implementing the new system so-called planning and quality system. The purpose of this system is to facilitate staffs on-site via the tools such as the two-week schedule, the cost control plan and the quality checklist. It affected directly to site engineer who normally work with less emphasizing on documentation. To comply with the new policy, staffs in this contractor have to change their working style. Therefore, a change management process is necessary to adopt because the change always has problems, for example, reluctant to change dueto lack of understanding and knowledge, lack of sharing information and fear of losing control and overload of current tasks and responsibilities. Moreover, the practical behavior of construction project team during the new system implementation is not well known and the existing literature is very rare in Thailand.In order to know how to behaveof construction project teamsduring implementing the new system, the objective of this research are established to 1) To investigate the practical behavior of project teams while the implementation of planning and quality system, 2) To proposethe behavior of project teams affecting the success of the implementation of planning and quality system. The data was collected via interview in four condominium projects implementing the new system located in Bangkok and Nonthaburi. The interviewees have classified into three groups of each project. The first group is the top management level that comprises of project manager, project engineer and site manager. The second group is the middle management level that comprises of senior site engineer and senior office engineer. The last group is the operational level having a responsibility to use planning and quality control form that comprises of site engineer and office engineer. The following section is to present the finding of this study. |
