    The document discusses factors that affect the quality of construction projects including miscommunication between teams, scope creep, complexity of designs, lack of project management systems, failure to document changes and practices, and ignored audits and testing. Miscommunication is a leading cause of quality issues and can result in misapplication of techniques and materials. Scope creep and unnecessary complexity make projects more difficult and expensive to complete with high quality. Implementing project management systems, digital documentation, and addressing audit findings are important for quality control.

    FACTORS AFFECTING

    QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION

    Presented By
    Alphin Jacob
    INTRODUCTION

     Every contractor or construction firm wish to offer the best quality

     Many factors affect the quality of construction

     A single mistake can lead to expensive rework and more serious penalties


    if the structure’s safety is compromised.
    FACTORS AFFECTING QUALITY OF
    CONSTRUCTION

     Miscommunication Between Teams

    • Communication issues are the number one cause of quality issues

    • Miscommunication leads to - misapplication of new techniques,


    mismatched materials, and a lack of secondary and tertiary testing to
    discover existing problems

    • Tools like PlanGrid are ideal for increasing communication


     Scope Creep

    • Unplanned expansion is often referred to as scope creep

    • Change with time as new facts are discovered about costs, time
    constraints, and site limitations

    • The problem comes when the expansion in scope leads to cutting corners
    to stretch a limited budget and time frame

    • Managing the scope of a construction project ensures the contractors can


    maintain the same level of quality over the entirety of the work
     Complexity of Designs

    • Unnecessary complexity is the enemy of high-quality work

    • Some level of complexity is unavoidable in cutting-edge infrastructure and


    commercial construction projects

    • Designers should minimize complex techniques and unusual features


    whenever possible

    • Simplified designs are more affordable


     Lack of Project Management System

    • Determines the ideal intervals for testing the work completed so far for
    errors and omissions

    • Without a management system for quality control and assurance, most


    construction firms wait to perform essential checks on their work

    • Implementing a project management system based around mobile apps is a


    flexible and fast way to bring current projects under control
     Failure to Document Changes and Practices

    • quality issues due to the lack of documentation of the change

    • Eg: not updating a change in material etc.

    • Leads to improper handling from maintenance team

    • Checked by : digital file management system

    • Reduce delay in updating

     Ignored Audits and Testing

    • Companies stick strictly to their third-party testing and auditing plans

    • Ignore the results of the tests and continue on with flawed designs or
    existing quality issues

    • This is often due to a lack of proper designation for quality control

    • Causing reports to bounce from project manager to lead engineer without


    a clear workflow for addressing the material
