dc.description.abstractHousing across societies is one of the indices for measuring people‘s standard of living. Poor quality in construction projects is a common phenomenon, and could be seen as lack of conformity or incompliance with contract agreement. This study assessed the influence of multiple contractors on the quality of construction work in Kwankwasiyya city Housing project Kano. In order to achieve this, the study focuses on the assessment of quality workmanship using multiple contractors, and determines the uniformity or otherwise of work executed by multiple contractors. The quantitative research approach was adopted, using field survey; the population size used was 16 number contractors, and Purposive sampling was used in selecting the contractors. Checklist was the instrument used for the data collection. Analysis was done using both descriptive and inferential statistics using computer software. Finding shows that, the quality rating for workmanship of Kwankwasiyya project for Floor, wall and Ceiling is 55%, 86% and 58% respectively and are rated moderate quality. However, quality rated of workmanship for doors and windows for all the contractors was found to be of high quality for up to 64%. Therefore, Kruskal-Wallis test was used for inferential analysis discovered that, there is no uniformity in the quality of workmanship of the Kwankwasiyya contractor‘s projects. The study established quality rating of workmanship to be generally below the selection requirement of competent contractors and monitoring of the projects. Recommended that, there is need for artisan skill improvement, most especially in floor tiling and floor finishing. There should be proper check of quality construction material, to ensure usage of correct material during construction work.en_US
