Abstract

This research focuses on the assessment of quality management practices within the context of constructing high-rise buildings, with a particular emphasis on buildings designated as headquarters for banking and insurance companies in Addis Ababa. The objective of this study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various factors that contribute to the successful execution of complex construction projects in this domain. Employing a hybrid research approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative methods, the investigation explores a range of aspects related to quality assurance, monitoring, evaluation, and regulatory oversight. The study explores the impact of inadequate quality management on the overall quality, structural integrity, and safety of high-rise buildings. It also identifies barriers and challenges in implementing quality management practices, as well as performance indicators and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of quality control measures. Additionally, the research delves into monitoring construction activities for compliance with quality control measures and ensuring quality standards for materials used in high-rise construction. Furthermore, it discusses quality benchmarks, standards, and the monitoring and evaluation of quality assurance measures implementation within organizations, including policies and procedures specific to high-rise building projects. Through interviews with various stakeholders, this study aims to provide valuable insights into enhancing the quality management processes in high-rise construction projects, ultimately contributing to the advancement of building safety and integrity in urban environments. Building upon these insights, the research concludes by presenting a series of strategic recommendations designed to enhance quality management practices in high-rise building construction projects. These recommendations span multiple dimensions, including strengthening regulatory oversight, implementing integrated quality assurance policies, establishing comprehensive monitoring and evaluation frameworks, defining quality benchmarks and performance metrics, ensuring robust materials quality control.
