Good performance of any construction project refers to continuous improvement of the project activities to achieve the project objectives. This research has been designed to study the construction performances of Hospital for Advanced Medicine and Surgery (HAMS) building construction project based on quality control and safety. The quality of construction was studied by comparing the quality control test results with the standard values. The construction safety provision of HAMS project was studied through a questionnaire survey. The responses from a questionnaire survey and review of records from concerned representative were examined to identify the factor affecting the performance of building construction. The factor affecting the performance was identified and presented in various ways for the interpretation. Materials were found to be of good quality when compared with the standards, even though only 41.9% of cube moulds were of required strength as per the compressive strength results. It was due to lack of curing and poor workmanship. All the 45 labors were selected for the questionnaires for construction safety provision of the construction site. All the labors have faced minor accidents which required only first aid. Helmets, gloves, boots, safety belts and safety glasses were provided as personal protective equipment which was proper and suitable. There were no documents for the safety at site. The hygiene condition of site was good but no labors were aware about safety precautions and safety procedures at site. Nondestructive and rebar locator test for the structure were not performed though 58.1% of cube moulds were failed in their compressive strength test, so nondestructive test must be performed with expert consultation and required steps must be forwarded before operation of hospital. Effective and efficient training courses for engineers in quality, safety, productivity, information systems and management of human resources must be conducted........
