“…Findings of the World Bank presented some local factors affecting Afghanistan’s AEC industry, such as poor political system, financial aid assistance from international companies, crime, corruption and access to lands (World Bank, 2005; World Bank, 2009). Kakar et al (2020) identified the critical success factors for enhancing schedule performance in Afghanistan’s public projects. The work concluded that most of the significant schedule factors in Afghanistan are also significant in other countries.…”

Purpose Rejecting building information modeling (BIM) can negatively impact the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industries. While BIM is trending globally, its implementation in post-conflict low-income economies is still limited. The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical factors for implementing BIM in a post-conflict low-income economy, using Afghanistan as a case study. Design/methodology/approach This study identifies potential affecting factors for BIM implementation through reviewing existing literature and interviewing AEC professionals in Afghanistan. Then, the factors are inserted into a questionnaire survey and disseminated with Afghanistan’s AEC practitioners. The collected data was analyzed to determine the critical factors. Also, the underlying relationships between the critical factors were established through factor analysis. Findings A total of 11 critical factors are affecting BIM implementation in Afghanistan. From those, nine factors can be grouped into the following three components: technological, environmental and organizational. Two factors, “cost-benefit of implementing BIM” and “market demand for BIM,” are recurring in low- and middle-income economies. Conversely, the “presence of appropriate projects to implement BIM” is the unique critical factor for Afghanistan that might affect other post-conflict low-income economies. Originality/value This study focuses on affecting factors for BIM implementation in post-conflict low-income economies, using Afghanistan as a reference rather than other types of economies that have been widely studied.

“…However, there complex cycle due to long-term planning techniques and complex interfaces involved [15]. Therefore, the construction of MIP requires a high level of technical and creative competence, professional staff, and obvious to a competent project manager [28]. Therefore, this study will focus on success of Mega project using SF measured by project goals, business goals, social and environmental goals as in previous studies (e.g.…”

“…As a result, labour productivity is not the primary cause of performance issues when executing projects. According to Kakar, et al, [28], much of the project work arrives on time and requires on-site assembly which may not be possible due to unresolved design issues or clashes detected during installation. However, where best practices are applied to different projects installation, results are often achieved faster.…”

There is a common understanding that megaprojects are important drivers of societal change. Their impact is an important phenomenon because of the influence on both society and economy. Despite the best practices all around the globe, numerous challenges can move a megaproject from a programmed success to a failure scenario. It can create an uncertainty over the result, impact as well as over the justification of the enormous amount of resources spent. Despite much research done so far, it is still not clear what are the causes of megaproject success. However, there seems to be no clear understanding as to what are the major success factors on which a project is judged in developing nation. Hence, this study aims to analyse the most vital success factors that would label a megaproject as being a complete accomplishment. The research was conducted using quantitative survey. The questionnaires were distributed to different stakeholders who have participated in previous megaproject. The questions were based on a Likert’s scale rating and analysed using relative important index (RII). The result from the analysis was then used in establishing the main success factors in mega project whilst focusing on what is regarded as the most important success factors as projects are unique with certain needs. The key finding from the study is the Project Managers experience and co existence with other stakeholders which was found as vital factor for the successful delivery of MIPs. Therefore, the research demonstrates the implication of the role of the project managers in terms of coordination of other parties in achieving stakeholders goal..

“…Scholars applied the problem-oriented method to explore the difficulties related to housing policies. One problem in housing projects is the water supply for newly built environments and the other is regional wars (Tilahun Ashine, 2019; Chitsaz and Azarnivand, 2017; Kakar et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to suggest a practical model for the production of new homes according to demands. After understanding the inhabitants’ priorities and preferences, the authors will present a programming model for building projects. The authors will meet the goal with knowledge-based development ideas and the experiences of skilled engineers and scholars. Design/methodology/approach The research methods are theoretical studies, a case study strategy, a market analysis, linear planning and classic procedures. All the research methods are problem-oriented. The authors have studied theories related to housing policies and performed field studies with a case study. The case study considers the preferences of applicants and programs building productions according to the ideas and needs. Findings The outcome of this research is a home-building program. The program stands on the particular requirements of responded people and regional characteristics. The authors can simulate this model anywhere in the world where there is a housing crisis. Originality/value This paper is originally based on my studies and practices.
