Investigating the Factors That Cause Cost and Time Overrun in the Residential Construction Projects in the Uae: Project Managers Perspective (original) (raw)

Abstract

The construction industry is considered an essential element to stabilize countries economically. In the UAE, this sector has received a lot of attention and development since the discovery of oil. This has enhanced the continuous expansion in construction activities. Recently, the construction projects in the UAE and KSA together reached 60% of the whole projects in the Middle East region, and the majority of it was in Dubai, which in 2018 enhanced its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to reach 14.5%. Therefore, the decision-makers apply multiple methods at different projects in order to achieve the prime factors for project success which are: cost, time, quality, and safety. However, there are different variables and unpredictable causes that are faced by the construction industry, such as the availability of the main resources, different environmental conditions, financial issues, political conditions, poor productivity, and contractual relations. Meanwhile, there is a great interest ...
