IMPROVING QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION

PROJECTS IN GOVERNMENTAL CONTRACTING
COMPANIES - VIEWS OF PROJECT MANAGERS
AT MINISTRY OF CONSTRUCTION AND
HOUSING
Dr. Zeyad S. M. Khalid
Civil Engineering Departement University of Tikrit
ABSTRACT
Quality assurance as a cultural standing point and economic
role become more essential in the view of the new activation of
the Iraqi Construction Sector. A comprehensive view of local
factors must be considered side by side with the international
development issues. This paper discusses the results of obtaining
construction managers consensus opinion on factors to improve
quality in the construction projects of governmental contracting
companies. With the aid of Nominal Group Technique a
consensus opinion of 100 construction managers in the Ministry
of Construction and Housing is obtained on 25 factors sudjested
by them to improve quality on their projects together with the
relative importance of each factor. A Pareto analysis is carried out
to show the weight of contribution of each factor and it was
found that basic wages and quality related incentives together
with obligations and delegations to construction project managers
are the most important factors. The factors that have the same
source of problems were also combined and categorized into five
areas where it was found that satisfaction and quality knowledge

(22-22)

together with instructions and procedures are the most critical

areas. These findings are compatible with the new philosophy of
total quality management.
