This study is for figuring out major components of construction quality infrastructure and suggesting improvement plan by benchmarking global best practice model and analyzing gap between the model and sample practice. Based on improvement plan, researcher could derive major characters and components of construction quality infrastructure, and also about the priority among core competency components of construction quality experts. The result showed that the 'human resource' was ranked the best priority followed by 'method' 'environment', 'equipment' among major characters and components of construction quality infrastructure. Also, for core competency components of construction quality experts, 'number of years in work places' was the best priority, and the 'professional knowledge on engineering' was another priority ranked. Far from general perception on competency components, 'academic education' ranked the last. It may allude that the current education system in this country is not effective in developing competency of quality engineers. In summary, this study shows professionalism of quality engineer is the most important thing in all the components.

The National Competency Standards (NCS) was designed to implement a competence-based society and solve the problem of inconsistency between the industrial field and education, training, and certification system. This study designed and developed the Korean NCS core vocational competence system, in accordance with the NCS, as an infrastructure to solve fundamental problems such as re-education and the social costs that are incurred in the workplace. Further, this study designed and developed standard indicators to evaluate the technical performance of the system for the global advancement of the Korean NCS core vocational competence system. The NCS core vocational competence system has been developed as an appropriate response type for multiple devices such as computers, tablet PCs, and cellular phones. For the global advancement of the Korean NCS core vocational competence system, this study designed and developed 10 performance evaluation indicators in accordance with 10 global standards, such as linkage-target operating system, interface protocol, packet format, encryption, class component, simultaneous access number, supervisor-to-testtaker response speed, server-to-admin response speed, auto-recovery speed for test answers, and real-time answer transmission speed.
