| Abstract | Quality of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) construction works are one of the major concerns
of Vietnamese contractors as the construction industry grows. This research aims to identify
and validate the factors affecting project's quality performance and their relative contribution.
Attempts were made to suggest practical recommendations from M&E contractor viewpoint.
This study involved participation of key M&E professionals, who provided objective
information and their perception about various aspects of project quality and its influencing
factors. Multivariate statistical techniques-factor analysis and canonical correlation analysisare employed to account simultaneously for the multi-attribute nature of the project's quality
performance and for the multitude of managerial factors.
Among the identified factors, those found to be mostly affecting the quality performance, by
order of importance, are: 1) Authority requirement and standard used in the projects; 2)
Internal quality assurance system; 3) Project team's technical competence and communication
among team members and 4) Parent organization reputation and past experience.
Improvement in the aspects of activities specified in these factors make it possible to improve
construction quality in Vietnam. |
