Abstract

In the construction industry, the guidelines of contractors play a crucial role in improving the success of construction projects. Contractors have significant responsibilities in a construction project, including measurement, recording, and supervision of dimensions and work quality. In general terms, a contractor is responsible for planning, leading, executing, supervising and inspecting a building construction project. The responsibility extends from the beginning to the end of the project, regardless of its scope. Overall contractors are responsible for fulfilling the contract Which makes them liable. These specialties enable contractors to gather necessary information accurately and with high precision, contributing to sound decision-making in the project. Suitable guidelines for contractors involve standard methods and processes for measurements, data recording, reporting, and communication with other project team members. These guidelines enhance efficiency, quality, and project execution speed, facilitating coordination among team members. By adhering to appropriate guidelines, contractors will be able to collect and analyze required information accurately and make logical and effective decisions to improve project performance. Ultimately, these improvements will lead to cost reduction, time saving, and enhancement of the final project quality. Factors such as sales history, quality policies or guidelines, adequacy of human resources and factory resources, completion of past project waste disposal, and company image are the most influential factos in project success.
