Abstract

Quality management aims at satisfying clients' craving in order to bring long haul aggressiveness and business survival for the organization. However, over the years, the construction industry has been widely criticized for the low quality of delivery of construction projects (both the finished product quality and the processes used during the project design as well as the construction stages). Significant time and cost are currently spent in correcting problems during the snagging process and the majority of projects either suffer from time overrun or cost overrun or both. However, this discounts the importance of process-based approach to deliver final product with desired quality. The aim of this study was to examine the factors that affect quality management in the delivery of public housing in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to identify the factors and their indicators, and to establish the relationships between them and quality management. The study employed a survey method using questionnaires. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analysed using path coefficients, t statistics and p-values. The study revealed that there were significant relationships between manpower, management practice, procurement, professional regulation, moral turpitude, and quality management in the study area and recommended that they should be considered to achieve effective quality management in the delivery of public housing projects in Nigeria.
