Abstract : Real estate investment, one of the key economic drivers in Thailand, is likely to increase continuously, especially
concerning high-rise residential building projects in major cities. According to the literature review, problems on the quality
inspection of architectural works cause reworking and cost overrun. Internal wall construction is selected for this study to
investigate the possible conflicts and limitations arising during the quality inspection process of high-rise building
construction projects. According to the regulations of construction-related organizations in Thailand, the specifications of
internal wall quality inspection are subjective, and mostly involve the perception and judgment of inspectors. Main
contractors and sub-contractors, who experience high-rise residential building constructions were selected for this qualitative
research. Six purposive interviewees, with the collected data analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that main
contractors and sub-contractors agree that the quality of internal walls in high-rise buildings are measured by the discretion,
knowledge, ability, experience, expertise of each inspector. The quality of work assessment is not consistent between
deliverers (Sub-contractors) and inspectors (Main contractors). Internal wall quality emphasizes flatness, alignment and
evenness, angle, cracks, and range. However, there is a lack of clear prescription standards for work such as tolerance
acceptance.
