This research tries to investigate performance of public building construction projects in Addis Ababa, Arada & Lideta sub-cities. A questionnaire survey and secondary data were conducted. A total of 105 questionnaires were distributed to contractors, consultants and clients, 78 questioners were returned 15(19%) from clients, 25 (32%) from contractors and 38(492%) from consultants. The outcome of these analyses showed that all the respondents agreed that construction projects were influenced by the time and cost factors indicated on the questionnaire. Based on these findings, the study recommended that the sub cities should develop a well-defined work scope for each project, proper project planning is required, professional competency of the contractor should be given prior attention and deployment of effective sight management by contractor is mandatory for improvement of cost and time performance of construction projects. |
