- 1. Will poor construction quality negate your profits ? Aniruddha Kulkarni
- 2. *The cost of poor quality remains hidden and eats up to 40% revenues of the enterprise. Success factors that reduce poor quality in construction needs to be evaluated through a well documented programme. * Mashwama, N,X; Aigbavboa, C & Thwala, D.

- 3. The systematic and objective assessment of an on-going or completed project or programme, its design, implementation and results. Project evaluation provide information about how well the programs are operating. A process evaluation focuses on program implementation and operation(Procedures, Decisions Stage operations) A Outcome evaluation is used to identify the results of a program’s effort(Implementation of specifications and results) Aniruddha Kulkarni. statsengineering@gmail.com

- 6. Why quality evaluation for projects under construction? Large number of elements that make up a process. High level of interdependencies between processes High amount of mechanical and electrical installations High degree of technology Aniruddha Kulkarni. statsengineering@gmail.com
- 8. Extent to which an activity or a program can be evaluated in a reliable and credible fashion in order to ascertain whether its objectives are adequately verifiable. This also ensures determining whether a subject is ready for an evaluation so that the precious evaluation resources are used at most appropriate time Evaluability? Readiness?
- 9. QUICK CHECKLIST FOR ASSESSING THE READINESS FOR EVALUATION Description of Checklists YES N O Clearly defined results map and understanding the subject of evaluation? Is there a well-defined results framework and statements, outputs, inputs and activities clearly defined? Are indicators SMART* Is there required data for evaluation inform of checklists, method statements, criteria of evaluation and, rating system? Is the purpose of the evaluation clearly defined and shared amongst stakeholders and project Managers? Are there sufficient resources (human and financial) allocated to evaluation? Is Skill Matrix documented? *referring to achievable, relevant and time-bound.
- 10. Questioning the evaluators Does the evaluation methods in the evaluators’ *inception report respond to each of the following questions: • What evidence is needed to address the evaluation questions? • What data collection method(s) will be used to address the evaluation criteria and questions? Why were these methods selected? Are allocated resources sufficient? • What is the framework for sampling? What is the rationale for the framework? • How the programme participants and other stakeholders will be involved? • What are the planned procedures, timing, and physical infrastructure that will be used for gathering and handling data? • How will the information collected be analyzed and the findings interpreted and reported? *The inception report is a means of ensuring mutual understanding of the consultants or evaluators plan of action and timeline to conduct evaluation https://siteselfies.com/
- 11. What to expect in a report? Aniruddha Kulkarni. statsengineering@gmail.com
- 12. A quality evaluation report is expected to be(but not limited to): Well structured and complete Having *qualitative approach wherever required. Detailed with what is being evaluated and why Detailed with present findings supported by credible evidence Acknowledging limitations and considering external factors Drawing conclusions about findings based on of the evidence and rate the study. *Qualitative indicators reflect people’s judgments, opinions, perceptions and attitudes towards a given situation or subject. These indicators can include awareness, understanding, quality and perception results. https://siteselfies.com/
