Construction projects are a balance between cost, time and quality. It is possible to have high quality and low cost, but at the expense of time, and conversely to have high quality and a fast project, but at a cost. If both time and money are restricted, then quality is likely to suffer. High quality is not always the primary objective for the client; time or cost may be more important. It is only realistic to specify a very high standard of quality if the budget is available to achieve that standard. The need for KPI in construction projects has increased considerably in recent times due to significant changes, advancements in technology and high expectation of the users. The KPI maintain uniformity in construction process and ensure more economical utilization of materials resulting in significant reduction in cost to the users. This type of study has become necessary when the construction industry is encountering a quality issues day by day. Critical parameters or key indicators are necessary to introduce at planning stage when PQP is preparing which divert us to concentrate for quality. This study is carried out by questionnaire and Delphi techniques on quality of certain important activities. This study leads to know critical parameters or key indicators of an activity and their contribution. These indicators can be used for internal qualitative improvement which ultimately improves business, reputation.
