Root Cause Analysis - Quality in Construction is a comprehensive three-day programme designed to build structured root cause analysis capability for quality professionals across the construction sector, leading to dual ASQConnEx and LEORON certification. Participants examine core RCA methodologies, including 5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA, and apply them to real structural, MEP and
•Core root cause analysis frameworks and their application to construction quality
•Building a construction defect taxonomy covering structural, MEP and finishing issues
•Overview of how BIM tools flag compliance and quality issues during construction
•Approaches for capturing BIM-flagged issues as inputs into an RCA investigation
Workshop: Participants classify sample construction defects using an RCA taxonomy
•Applying 5 Whys and Fishbone analysis to real structural and MEP defect cases
•Applying RCA methods to common finishing defects found on construction sites
•Mapping RCA findings against relevant Saudi Building Code requirements
•Techniques for documenting regulation-aligned, defensible RCA findings
Workshop: Participants conduct a full 5 Whys and Fishbone analysis on a case study
•Applying Fault Tree Analysis to complex, multi-cause construction failures
•Applying FMEA to proactively assess construction quality risk
•Developing corrective and preventive action plans from RCA findings
•Reviewing ASQConnEx exam structure and preparing for the certification assessment
