Kgashane Stephen Nyakala

Construction small and medium enterprise (SMEs) faces numerous deficiencies preventing their sustainable growth and development in South Africa. These deficiencies include: operational factors; limited road infrastructure; financial constraints; inadequate project planning; and ineffective technical innovation in construction SMEs. These factors are all controlling to the stagnated growth of these SMEs road initiative projects, typically privately owned enterprises. In an attempt to enhance the growth opportunities of SMEs, this paper firstly presents a conceptual framework incorporating the above-mentioned deficiencies. Secondly, the paper sharpens in on the construction quality assurance process implementation in order to target road initiative specific-challenges facing SMEs. Finally, the paper proposes some possible coping strategies to ensure more effective implementation of construction quality assurance process in construction SMEs
