Abstract
This study examines the quality of construction projects in Thi-Qar city, located in southern Iraq, in the context of ongoing challenges such as political instability, inadequate funding, and managerial inefficiencies. Despite the critical role of construction in regional development, limited research has addressed the specific factors affecting project quality in this region. To address this gap, the study aims to identify key quality challenges by categorizing them into financial and economic, managerial and operational, and external factors. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the research highlights issues such as insufficient contractor experience, poor operational decisions, and limited adoption of modern construction technologies. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions by local authorities to comprehensively address these challenges, offering actionable insights to enhance project outcomes and support sustainable development in the region.
