The ASQ Certified Construction Quality Manager (CCQM) is a newly introduced credential from the American Society for Quality, launched in early 2025. Designed for professionals managing quality throughout construction projects, this certification covers the complete lifecycle of a project, including pre-contract planning, procurement, execution, and closeout.
The first official exam was administered in February 2025. Since then, interest in the CCQM has grown rapidly among construction managers, quality professionals, and project leads who want to formalize their knowledge and demonstrate leadership in construction quality management.
