ABSTRACT

Since China's reform and opening up, rapid economic growth has driven large-scale housing construction across the country. However, this boom has also exposed numerous quality issues, such as the Beijing West Railway Station accident and incidents like "tilted buildings" and "crumbling buildings." These problems pose significant risks to public safety and result in substantial waste of resources and economic losses. In 2014, national real estate investment reached 9.5 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 9.90%, and housing construction covered 7.265 billion square meters, growing by 9.20%. Given the scale of these projects, ensuring that new housing meets national quality standards is essential. This study examines the construction quality of housing projects, identifying key factors through extensive literature review and constructing a recursive structural model. Using real-world engineering cases, it employs a fuzzy evaluation method based on hierarchical analysis to assess and quantify project quality, determining the overall quality grade. Unlike traditional methods that evaluate quality after completion, this approach allows for ongoing assessment during construction, identifying key factors affecting quality and enabling timely control and preventive measures. This proactive approach can reduce rework and ensure that projects meet national standards and contractual requirements, offering valuable insights for industry professionals and scholars.
