The performance of construction structures is assessed and evaluated using the QLASSIC rating system. It is based on CIS 7:2006, the Construction Industry Standard. Some of the construction project's workers are still unaware of how QLASSIC might improve the project's quality; they only know QLASSIC as an evaluation tool. The objectives of this paper research are to determine the level of awareness QLASSIC implementation. This research paper employed the quantitative method, a questionnaire survey form that enabled the collection of information on the issues concerning the related person involved in a terrace house construction project at Perak Tengah, Perak. Thirty-three valid responses were received and used for the analysis. The result shows that the most important awareness of QLASSIC is that it will reflect the overall quality performance of a given construction project. The highest result for the advantages of QLASSIC is to ensure defect issues are identified for future improvement and while for the strategy to improve implementation, QLASSIC is to provide training for employees at the construction site. The purpose of this paper is to further strengthen the awareness and implementation system of QLASSIC.
