Abstract: In the quality management evaluation of Municipal Road Construction (MRC) projects, traditional methods often fall prey to influence from expert experience and fragmented evaluation dimensions. To address these issues, the study examines the urban secondary road Z Avenue project, which spans 2.8 km and took 320 days to complete, as the empirical case. Based on the Man, Material, Machine, Method, Measurement, and Environment (5M1E) theory, a system of quality influencing factors is developed, which includes six primary indicators: personnel, materials, machinery, methods, measurement, and environment, and 15 secondary indicators. The Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) method, combined with the entropy weight analytic hierarchy process, is used to calculate the subjective and objective weights for evaluation. The results reveal that method, mechanism, and measurement are the core dimensions with the highest combined weights at the first level, with values of 0.2256, 0.2223, and 0.185, respectively. The FCE yields a comprehensive score of 7.605 points for the Z Avenue construction quality, indicating a level II classification and an overall sound quality. This study offers a multidimensional, quantitative framework for assessing the quality management of MRC projects, with significant practical value for enhancing construction quality control.
