Concrete and plastering works are two major parts of ordinary reinforced concrete buildings. Good quality control in these works can reduce the construction cost and can improve the workmanship in Thailand construction industry standard. Research into procedure and problems encountered in these works and formalize effective remedies are the major theme of this study This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with data gathering, pinpointing the root of the problem and formalizing effective remedies . While the second part deals effective application of the quality control method for these works. Data for each part consists of 30 samples from interviewing civil engineers in various construction project. The study finds that main problems in concrete and plastering works are the void in hardenced concrete, the segregation of fresh concrete and the peeling off of plaster. Analysis of these problems yields a proper quality control measure which consists of a site inspection report sheet, a manual of concrete and plastering works and a guide for labor’s training. This measure does not only provide quality control to reduce construction cost, but also improves the human resource for the construction industry.
