“…Kashiwagi [42] proposed a system called performance information procurement system (PIPS) instead of lower bidder by filtering selected bidder in four steps. Alzara et al [43] proposed to use PIPS to mitigate anticipated delays for campus of university in Northern of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is recommended to review and revise projectawarding system used in Kuwait especially in large governmental projects.…”

Construction project delay is global problem in all construction industry. In Kuwait, there were many conducted research work aimed to identify delay causes in Kuwait construction projects. This paper aims to propose set of recommendations to mitigate effect of delays in construction projects in Kuwait. Rresults of previous research work were used as bases for propose recommendations. Previous research results are divided into five ranks (Top, highly, moderate, low, and very low ranked delay causes). Top causes are investigated and analyzed to identify why these top-ranked delay causes are happened and how to prevent their occurrence and/or mitigate their effect in case of occurrence. This research limited to provide proposals for top ranked only as it is more efficient. Most of these recommendations are oriented to governmental influencers. These recommendations contain revision and change project contract documents, shortening period for documentary session, changing contract conditions especially clauses of programming and delay analysis, and revise project awarding systems. These recommendations need governmental support to enhance project time performance in Kuwait. The results of this study can be used as a base for any effort to solve and dilute effect of delays in construction projects in Kuwait.

“…They found that the most influencing factors for are poor site management and supervision by contractors, conflict between the main contractor and subcontractor, poor planning and scheduling of projects by the contractor, delays in material or equipment delivery and delays in handing over construction site to the contractor. Alzara et al [16] submit a case study of university construction project to minimize the causes of delays in Saudi Arabian construction projects using the Performance Information Procurement (PIP) System.…”

The time performance of projects i.e. delay of construction projects is considered as one of the alarming problems around the world that has passive effect on the society development as well as on the country economy. The time performance of construction projects varies with country, region, project type and the perspectives of various stakeholders. The purpose of the paper is to know the extent of delay in the government sector projects in Aseer region, KSA and identifying whether the delay extent is natural or large compared to other areas. A total number of 228 public sector construction projects awarded in one decade have considered for the study purpose. The methodology for the project delays studies is as follows, collection of projects information from the main sources, classifying them according to the project size limits, analyzing the available data, knowing the delay size in every sector and comparing the delays of the different projects to identify the most delayed projects as well as those completed on time. Analysis of delays shows that the majority of construction projects in the Aseer region have exceeded their time and the most significant delay among government sectors was the Directorate-General for Health Affairs. The extent of delay in construction project decreases with the progress of country.

“…As a result, investments in the construction industry face several risks when the contract administration practices do not adequately perform and poor contract administration works against the industry sustainability. Poor construction contract administration may refer to poor planning [5,6], poor communication and coordination [7], lack of systems [7] misunderstanding of processes [7], lack of skilled personnel [8], unclear roles [7], lack of training [7,8] and lack of performance measurement [7]. Yet the construction contract administration (CCA) team needs more training on better practices [7][8][9][10][11], to act responsively [12] with a sufficient level of competency [7,13] and to efficiently monitor the contract [7], and to make efficient decisions [13].…”

The contract administration process is inevitably complex, and improper performance of the associated tasks and procedures may lead to disputes between the contracting parties whilst further driving against the sustainability bottom lines. Therefore, this paper proposes an assessment tool to improve the implementation of construction contract administration (CCA) through a multi-dimensional construction contract administration performance model (CAPM), construction contract administration performance index (CCAPI), and a mobile software to assess the CCA performance at the project level by integrating the crisp value of the fuzzy set theory within a second-order confirmatory factor analysis of the structural equation modeling technique. A hybrid mobile application (CAPM) is developed using the Ionic framework which can run either in full model mode or short model mode with 93 and 33 key construction administration factors, respectively. Assessment of sustainability practices in the area of contract administration is a part of the holistic model and CAPM defines 13 major key indicators relevant to social and environmental sustainability while economic sustainability is scattered over the rest of the CAPM indicators. The CAPM is practically implemented in 13 international construction projects and the results reveal that the proposed tool is reasonably captured in the different performance levels of CCA, and we conclude a low level of implementing in risk management. As part of the holistic model, assessment of sustainability practices in the area of contract administration is separately discussed and the study reveals the need to improve the environmental and social sustainability practices in contract administration.
