Evaluating the quality of construction projects in Egypt and identifying the factors that influence deviation

Abstract

ABSTRACT The research aims to assess the quality of construction and construction projects in Egypt (Damanhour City) to monitor and follow up on the reality of the implementation of engineering projects and determine their percentage compared to the methods and international standards adopted for that and then identify the reasons and factors affecting the quality of project implementation. To achieve this, we evaluated the quality and identified the problems related to it in a sample of construction projects implemented in the year 2021, and this was done by measuring the percentage of conformity to quality requirements using checklists according to the standards of the quality management program BIM 360 field, and the conformity rate was 88% and indicates the existence of a real problem according to international standards, so problems and deviations related to quality were identified and the reasons leading to the occurrence of these problems were identified, which were classified into three factors, namely laws, regulations and compliance It has technical factors and administrative factors, which constitute the basis that must be based on it and try to improve the quality of projects, and summarized the research to the need to work by the concerned authorities to reformulate laws related to engineering work and develop them with the identification of systems and procedures to improve technical and administrative factors in engineering projects.
