FACTORS AFFECTING QUALITY AND PROCESS IN CONSTRUCTION: LIMITS OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND AESTHETICS
Abstract
This article examines the factors affecting quality and process in construction — technological, organizational and human — as well as their limits related to professional ethics and aesthetics. The main idea is this: stable quality in construction cannot be achieved only by following technical regulations. Mutual understanding among participants, equality and a culture of responsibility also play a decisive role here. The analysis relies on current construction norms of Uzbekistan, labour legislation and international scholarly literature. In addition, seven practical obstacles identified on the basis of the author's personal observations at construction sites are systematized. The findings may be useful when introducing a quality management system in construction organizations, selecting personnel based on signs of responsibility and monitoring communication between the office and the site.
