“…Moreover, all the participating AEC companies listed "the cost of training", "the cost of software", and "huge BIM upfront investment" as among the top five barriers in implementing BIM. This is consistent with other similar studies that have identified these barriers as either significant or normal barriers to BIM implementation [28,32,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. In Jordan, these results are likely because many Jordanian companies work on governmentfunded projects, while others work on private projects funded by the owner, who is also making decisions regarding the project.…”

“…In addition to these studies above, other studies have made similar conclusions about the barriers to BIM adoption, where the majority identified cost as the most significant barrier (including a cost of investment, cost of training, and cost of software), followed by barriers related to management, technology, culture, and demand. Comparatively, barriers related to BIM guidelines, standards, and processes are less frequently stated [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. Table 1 shows the barriers to BIM implementation.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers significant opportunities for construction management as it provides an effective method for design and documentation, supports communication and collaboration, and enhances the most important factors of a project (time, cost, and quality). The aim of this study is to investigate the barriers to BIM implementation at AEC (architecture, management, construction, and quantity survey) companies in Jordan, and to look at the similarities and differences in perceptions on the significance of these barriers between respondents from different AEC companies. To accomplish these objectives, a questionnaire survey was created to gather feedback on the 20 major barriers to BIM implementation identified through a comprehensive literature review. The top significant barriers were identified using the Relative Importance Index (RII) and Mean value; and to assess variances between respondents in the four AEC firms, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. From this, it was concluded that the “cost of training”, “cost of BIM software”, “insufficient BIM technical knowledge and awareness”, “lack of adequate BIM guidelines”, and “huge BIM up frontal investment” are the key barriers affecting the BIM implementation in Jordanian AEC companies. Considering this, this study provides an important step towards better understanding the implementation of BIM in Jordan.

“…In several countries, pressure from the lowering of public debt has prompted their policymakers to include private sector companies in several investments of economic and social infrastructure, such as toll roads, colleges, hospitals, car parks and facilities [14]. Risk management in PPP projects differs radically from conventional public projects where the public sector buys an asset from private sector contractors and consultants whose responsibility is limited to product design and development, and where financial and operational risks remain with the public sector [15,16]. Risk management is a major concern when carrying out a PPP project, particularly in PPP technological infrastructure projects [1,17].…”

“…In the lack of such a report, evaluating the PPP programs successfully becomes quite challenging for government departments, business staff, etc. An analysis to avoid these problems is needed; the risks involved should be classified in Pakistan's PPP projects and would be beneficial in determining the extent, and in allocating the risks to the group who can best manage the danger [16].…”

Risk Severity Matrix for Sustainable Public-Private Partnership Projects in Developing Countries

The concept of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is not new for developing countries, although many initiatives are being contemplated for potential implementation. This paper evaluates the crucial success factor for the effective execution of PPP projects and it also investigates the appropriate distribution of the risks involved in PPP projects. Quartile analysis of features has been made after a detailed literature review for risk identification. The risk severity analysis is done using a quartile assessment. The data is collected from various contractors working on PPP projects in Pakistan. The comparative analysis has been conducted using available research work on PPP in developing countries. A risk severity rank model is created using 47 key risks in PPP projects for developing countries. Finally, the top risks identified by this research are compared with the previous studies conducted in China, India and Egypt. It is concluded that inflation, revenue risk from end-user, foreign exchange fluctuation, political situation, law and order, and corruption are the major risks in developing countries for better management of PPP projects. Most of the PPP projects are public-oriented. The society of any city is directly affected by most PPP projects. This paper presents the identified key risks of PPP projects in developing countries which are mostly financial and public-oriented. This work will support the PPP concept significance, meeting United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 and 11. Recent countries’ political and economic circumstances and sustainability have transformed PPP ventures into a successful way to support the governments to develop roads, energy and facilities through private partners’ financial and technological capacities. Although PPP is used worldwide, its effective utilization in developing countries is still lacking. This paper is an enhancement to its successful use of the PPP domain for developing countries.

“…Challenge 2 (currency fluctuation) is another test that construction industry operators must confront; it is one of the top three obstacles and causes project cost overruns [7]. Government instability, according to Zabiullah, is a very challenging issue in the development of the construction sector [13,14], and it is ranked 4th with a mean of 6.34. Challenge 8 (cost increases due to policy changes) is another challenge that most companies in the construction sector face, as it is one of the elements that causes project delays or even project abandonment [12].…”

The entire influence of a country's budget outcome on economic activity is referred to as fiscal policy. Fiscal policy has its own share of benefits & challenges in particular groups. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the benefits & challenges of Fiscal Policy for Construction industry. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the possible benefits and key challenges to better fiscal policy. In later stage, a set of questionnaire was prepared using the identified factors. The data was collected from construction industry professionals with experience on fiscal policy management. The data was analysed by aggregated average mean using SPSS. The factor ranks were made on the higher values of aggregated mean value. The study concludes that the main hurdles to better fiscal policy are import/export restrictions, delays in land/plot permits/licenses, and currency fluctuations, as well as government subsidies on construction materials. Similarly, the top benefits for better fiscal policy in the construction industry include meaningful salaries/wages and employment for daily wage earners. The study recommended that, Policymakers must be urged to adopt suitable fiscal policies that address these challenges in order to evolve and improve the construction sector.
