ABSTRACT
Assessment of project quality management processes adopted by the building project contractors was studied in Osun state, Nigeria. This was with a view to examining the project quality management processes adopted for project success. The study covered 36 private projects and 25 public projects, making 61 projects in the state. The research instrument used was questionnaire. It elicited information on the issues such as respondents designation, type of projects executed, project quality management processes and challenges encountered by the contractors. The data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results among others showed that the application of the required standards to the project to impact on the deliverable (2.45) and involvement of Quality Assessment (2.34) were below average. There were inadequate facilities, machines, tools and equipment for effective work on site (2.72), and scarcity of skilled workers(2.58). The study recommended among others that adequate facilities, machines, tools and equipment should be provided on site during project execution. This will assist the workers on site to meeting the client’s requirements during project execution.
