This study highlights the factors affecting on constriction quality.A questionnaire was used to gather the relevant data from members of Kolhapur’s residential projects builders. In that involves 72 factors divided into four categories which are Engineering group, Contractor Group, Quality Control Group, Customer satisfaction group. The Relative Importance Index (R.I.I.) was determined and the factors were ranked. The top factors mainly affecting to the construction quality that are to be described. Recommendations have been made in the study of address these factors. Key Words: Construction, Quality, Auditing 1. INTRODUCTION In construction projects quality is very major part for client as well as customer also, because almost all customers giving priority at the time of selection of their homes that in how much manner the builder will gives specifications of project, their quality and the way in which superior material is to be used in the projects, in that case customer will also accept for giving more money to the builder for having the amenities. Through the auditing is to be conducted almost 3 to 4 times in the yaer,either by internally or externally auditors, so due to that all help to maintain the all specification at site, and also helping for maintain safety requirements which are helpful to customers also. 1.1 Factors affecting to the Construction Quality In this paper total seventy two factors are to be identified by the literature survey, which are to be affected construction quality are classified under the four primary groups that are 1)Engineering group 2) contractor group 3)Quality control Department and 4)Customer group. In the Engineering group consist of the following factors which are affected to the construction quality:01)Quality of Material,2)Material Varriance,3)Material Re- use 4)Test samples results 5)Structural Design 6)Mix Design 02)Contractor group having 01)skilful labour,02)well working equipments,03)Proper sequence of work 4)Drawing plans 03)Quality Control Department consist of the factors which are mentioned as 01)Technical knowledge to Quality Control Department group 02)mortar proportion used at site project,03)Brand of Material, 4)Material Inspection at site,5)All material test results,06)Checklist filling before work starts07)Rework 04)Customer satisfaction group consist of the factors are 01)Natural ventilations,02)Natural Lighting,3)Slopes of toilets, terraces, kitchen platforms,4)Parking area space,5)water availability05) Fire fighting and solar system. 2)METHODOLGY: The questionnaire survey was carried out in the various construction projects. The total 26 samples were taken from Kolhapur city, on which 16 samples values cost of more than 10 cores, and the 10 samples are to be taken which having cost of less than ten cores. In that samples four groups were created which are Engineering group, then Contractor Group,03) Quality control Department Group and 4)Customer satisfaction group. For the analysing data the Relative Importance Technique (R.I.I.) used. 03) QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN: In that design of questionnaire is very simple and under stable for respondents. The advantage is in smaller timing getting more accuracy in final outcome. Factors affecting the construction quality were identified through the literature survey. The questionnaire required the respondents to rank factors affecting construction quality with the scale of rating01)reprents very low effect 02) represents low effect 03)represents medium effect 04)high effects,05)very high effects
