    ABSTRACT: Quality management is one of the most important areas in project management, especially in the field of infrastructure construction industry. To better manage and control the quality of a construction project, the role of quality evaluation is critical. But it has been always a challenging task due to its complexity and the varying factors during construction phase. Quality evaluation or quantifying the quality performance of heavy construction projects such as embankment dams consists of the following main stages: 1) identifying quality indicators related to different project activities; 2) determining the factors affecting quality performance of indicators; 3) aggregating quality performance of quality indicators to gain the overall quality level of the project. This paper seeks to distinguish these quality indicators and factors, as well as evaluate each indicator. Furthermore, the weight and the relative importance of each indicator and each activity are established by eliciting the views of experts with experience in the field of dam design and construction using conference method. Consequently the overall quality at the project level is calculated by using a defined function which accumulates quality performances at activity levels. The results of this study can be used in quality-based contactor prequalification systems.
