FACTORS AFFECTING PROJECT COMPLETION: IN THE CASE OF FETISH CONSTRUCTION IN PRIVATE HOUSE ASSOCIATION

Abstract

This study examines the impact of implementing lean construction practices on successful project completion within the private house association sector in Addis Ababa. The research focuses on key variables such as Collaborative Project Management, Information Sharing, Advanced Technologies, Lean Construction Practices, and their influence on Project Completion. Employing a descriptive and explanatory research design, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to project success in this context. Data was collected through a combination of quantitative method, including questionnaires with 35 employees from Fetish Construction. The reliability of the variables was confirmed through Cronbach's Alpha, indicating high internal consistency. Descriptive statistics, normality tests, and non-parametric tests were utilized to analyze the data, providing insights into the relationships between the variables. Key findings reveal that while traditional project management practices and information sharing did not show a significant direct impact on project completion, the integration of advanced technologies demonstrated a near-significant positive effect. Lean construction practices, although not significantly impacting project completion directly, highlight potential areas for optimization. Based on these findings, recommendations include enhancing collaborative practices, investing in advanced technologies, optimizing information sharing protocols, and refining lean construction implementation strategies. These actions are expected to improve project efficiency and effectiveness, contributing to better project completion outcomes in the construction sector.
