A prototype Project Management Quality Cost System (PROMQACS) was developed to determine quality costs
in construction projects.The purpose of this paper was to discuss the designof a prototype project management
quality costing IS.The development process of PROMQACS included the problem identification, design of the
information architecture and the testing of the system to determine the type of information needed so that it
could be implemented in practice. While PROMQACS can be used to determine quality costs, the
lack of information made available by organisations during the testing phase meant that the research
with a project can use. With some minor modifications,we suggest that PROMQACS could also be used
to monitor quality costs in software projects.
