“…Interestingly, Love et al (2005) examined project time-cost performance relationship, and their results indicate that cost is a poor predictor of time performance. Elyamany et al (2007) introduced a performance evaluation model for construction companies in order to provide a proper tool for the company's owners, shareholders and funding agencies to evaluate the performance of construction companies in Egypt.…”

Abstract. Construction projects located in the Gaza Strip, Palestine suffer from many problems and complex issues. Consequently, the objective of this paper is to identify the factors affecting the performance of local construction projects; and to elicit perceptions of their relative importance. A comprehensive literature review was deployed to generate a set of factors believed to affect project performance. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed to 3 key groups of project participants; namely owners, consultants and contractors. The survey findings indicate that all 3 groups agree that the most important factors affecting project performance are: delays because of borders/roads closure leading to materials shortage; unavailability of resources; low level of project leadership skills; escalation of material prices; unavailability of highly experienced and qualified personnel; and poor quality of available equipment and raw materials. Based on these findings, the paper recommends that: 1) project owners must work collaboratively with contractors and facilitate regular payments in order to overcome delays, disputes and claims; 2) project participants should actively have their input in the process of decision-making; and 3) continuous coordination and relationship between project participants are required through the project life cycle in order to solve problems and develop project performance.

“…The identified risks will then be incorporated in the comprehensive survey that will be used in the data collection stage for further evaluation. First, risks factors were identified through an extensive review of literature as follows: international construction markets (Ozorhon et al, 2007(Ozorhon et al, , 2008Dikmen and Birgonul, 2006;Arditi, 2005a, 2005b;Chan and Tse, 2003;Baloi and Price, 2003;Hastak and Shaked, 2000); the Asian construction market (Ling and Poh, 2008;Zou et al, 2007;Sambasivan and Soon, 2007;Alaghbari et al, 2007;Andi, 2006;Chua et al, 2003) and studies on construction risks encountered in specific MENA countries (Tumi et al, 2009;Sweis et al, 2008;El-Razek et al, 2008;El-Sayegh, 2008;Elyamany et al, 2007;Assaf and Al-Hejji, 2006;Zaneldin, 2006;Abdul Rashid and Bakarman, 2005;Koushki et al, 2005;Al-Reshaid et al, 2005;Goda, 1999;Mezher and Tawil, 1998). Second, standardised construction contracts from different perspectives such as design and construction contracts that are currently in use at construction projects in the AGC region were examined and risks on such contracts were identified with the help of employees at multinational companies currently working in the region.…”

Risk is an ever-present event on any construction project. International projects are more challenging than domestic projects as they experience a wider range of risks. With the growing amount of construction in the Arabian Gulf Region (AGR) and many more international firms attempting into new international markets, limited research exists to identify and evaluate the impact of risks on projects in this area. This paper provides an overview of the risk associated with international projects. Seventy-four risks encountered in the AGR were identified and their impact on cost and schedule performance metrics was evaluated. Projects for which cost and schedule were both impacted were identified and the correlation between cost and schedule was compared. Some factors were found to have significantly higher impact on cost or schedule. An international risk assessment tool (IRAT) was developed to help multinational firms enhance their visual ability to pre-emptively identify, address, and mitigate risks.

Construction is one of the major sectors of Pakistan economy, ranked second to agriculture and manufacture due to direct and indirect contribution in GDP and employment. The problem of delays in construction industry have significant impact on project performance whereas well organized projects lead to timely completion. The aim of this research is to develop a framework 1) to identify factors affecting performance of residential projects, 2) ranking the factors using Relative Importance Index(RII) and 3) examining/analyzing the significance of factors by factor analysis and regression modeling. The developed framework is the tool for analyzing and identify the impact of factors and assist construction managers to take necessary measure in reducing the delay impact. These findings will be expected to significantly contribute in improving project performance in Pakistan residential construction projects.
