dc.description.abstractOne of the primary objectives of every construction project is meeting or exceeding the quality requirements of clients. The nature and complexity of construction projects encompass a lot of risks, which could hinder the attainment of the desired project quality. Evaluating the impact of risk is essential for determining the extent to which it could derail the attainment of project objectives. This study assessed the impact of risk factors on construction projects 'quality in Nigeria. Quantitative research method comprising questionnaire survey was used for the study. Data was obtained using close ended structured questionnaires distributed to 192 construction practitioners. The impact of 65 risk factors on construction project quality was evaluated. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. The study found eighteen (18) risk factors as having high impact on projects quality; the topmost being 'shortage of skilled labour '(MS = 4.30), 'poor design '(4.19), 'inadequate experience by project team '(4.18), 'deviating from specifications due to misunderstanding of drawings and specifications '(4.05) and 'inadequate project monitoring '(3.96). The study concludes that the impact of some risk factors could adversely lead to unacceptable quality reduction. The study recommends paying more attention to managing the risk factors having high impact so as to achieve the desired projects quality.
