Risks of Design Stage in Iraqi Construction Project

Abstract

The management of construction projects needs to complete the basics of system management and work. Starting from the idea and how to turn it into a full study and ended at the construction project completion arriving at the purpose prepared for it, so the projects need to control on its operation and integration system in order to succeed.
 It is no secret for who concerned in construction projects field that the design stage is a very important stage in construction project because it determines the final features of the project through the requirements provided by the employer for the consultant to formulate it during this phase in the form of plans, drawings, and specifications, then translated on the ground as the shape of completed project meets those requirements.
 Therefore it has been necessary to focus in this paper on the design stage also demonstrated and analysis the most important risk facing this stage and their impact on a construction project by introducing a questionnaire to identify the most important risks factors at this stage affecting on the project.
 The paper had been shown that the effect of the design stage on Lump sum type of project contract was higher than the unit price, while the most important factor effect on a project its fast response of design team to prepare the design documents in order to facilitate the workflow and sequence of execution with effect level 3.714.
 

Appropriate Risk Response Planning of Build Operate Transfer Contracts for the Transportation Projects in Iraq

“…The risk of continuous change in work and specifications Use an effective system for project management like Building Information Modeling (BIM) to plan, designed and manage the execution of the project to efficiently manage the change order process [21] The consulting team should have enough time to carefully study the project specifications which may reduce the change in specifications [25] 9…”

Cost & Time Interaction Behavior on Construction Materials Procurement and Execution Processes in Infrastructure Projects

“…However, construction projects have a tendency for key participants to work separately and focus on individual goals, rather than project goals. This tendency is a result of standard industry contracts and a legacy of litigation within the industry [9]. In most construction projects, best possible performance is unachievable with poor productivity resulting in time overrun and consequently cost escalation of the projects, because the construction is a risky industry with uncertainties due to many external and internal factors that influence the construction process [10].…”
