Development of a system of indicators and criteria for the qualimetric evaluation of the quality of construction projects

Purpose. The objective of this article is to develop a scientifically grounded system of indicators and criteria for the qualimetric assessment of the quality of construction projects, which ensures a comprehensive consideration of the project’s technical, economic, organizational-technological, and risk-oriented characteristics, as well as to create a methodological foundation for determining an integrated quality indicator and improving the soundness of management decisions at all stages of a construction project’s life cycle. Methodology. The research methodology is based on the application of systemic and qualimetric approaches to assessing the quality of construction projects. The study employs methods of scientific literature analysis, systems analysis, and structural decomposition to form a hierarchical system of quality indicators. The determination of weighting coefficients for the criteria involves the use of the hierarchical analysis method, while the formation of an integrated assessment involves normalizing and aggregating partial indicators into a single quality indicator. Findings. As a result of the study, a system of indicators and criteria for the qualimetric assessment of construction project quality was developed, covering technical, economic, organizational-technological, and risk-oriented characteristics. A hierarchical structure of indicators, an approach to their normalization, and a method for determining weighting coefficients are proposed. The results obtained provide a methodological basis for calculating a comprehensive quality indicator for a construction project and for supporting management decisions in the construction industry. Originality. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the refinement of approaches to the qualimetric assessment of construction project quality through the development of a structured system of indicators that encompasses individual, group, and integrated criteria and ensures a more comprehensive consideration of the multifactorial nature of construction processes. Within the scope of the study, principles for determining weighting coefficients were developed, taking into account the influence of organizational and technological conditions, and the procedure for integrated quality assessment was refined to reflect the interrelationships between key project parameters. This enhances the objectivity and informativeness of the quality assessment of construction solutions. Practical value. The practical significance of this work lies in the possibility of applying the developed system of indicators and criteria for the qualimetric assessment of the quality of construction projects in design and construction organizations. The proposed approach ensures a more well-founded comparison of alternative solutions, improves the accuracy of assessing organizational and technological parameters, and helps reduce the risks of exceeding construction deadlines and costs.
