After the introduction of Juran's Quality Cost from "Quality Control Handbook" in 1951, many scholars have studied about Quality Cost. But, the studies are still the basic-step in the research in domestic and foreign academic world.
This study suggests a preference task for research and analysis in the comprehension and application of Quality Cost by construction engineers, so, it aims to be applied for the basic-study to organize the Construction Quality cost System.
To research the current situation in the application of Construction Quality Cost, we divided 5 answering groups that are owners, general construction company, designer, supervisor and special construction company to research the analysis about the recognitions, situations, applied status and cost presumption of Quality Cost and finally suggest 4-aspects 14 items those are problems in the operation and foundation of the Construction Quality Cost System.
