According to the PMBOK standard, project quality management is implemented through three processes: quality planning, quality management, and quality control. In civil projects, quality management enhances the durability and safety of structures, thereby reducing the risk of financial and human losses during accidents. Moreover, civil projects in any country serve as prerequisites for progress and play a fundamental role in the industrialization of developing nations. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate project quality management processes in contracting and consulting construction companies, while also highlighting the significance of quality and its management in project-based work, based on the PMBOK standard. A field research method (questionnaire technique) with a descriptive model was employed. The statistical population consisted of managers and engineers (experts) working in contracting and consulting construction companies. From this population, 203 individuals were selected as the study sample, and questionnaires were distributed among them. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the one-sample t-test. The findings indicate that in construction companies, quality planning receives more attention compared to the other two processes quality management and quality control which requires corrective measures.
