Construction Project Trouble Factors Influencing Project Success in Iraq

What is it about?

The research problem this highlights lies in the presence of so many troubled government projects in the construction sector: the purpose of the current research is to identify the major causes or critical factor affecting project performance and success. It is important to determine the types of factors causing trouble for Iraqi governmental projects in order for these to be more specifically mitigated or avoided in the future.

Why is it important?

Troubled construction projects are a global problem. Iraqi construction projects thus naturally suffer from this phenomenon, and, indeed, most Iraqi government construction projects suffer issues during the implementation phase that increase both costs and time; completing a construction project within the planned cost and time limits has thus become a major challenge for all parties involved in the construction process in Iraq. Projects are rarely carried out within the estimated and planned boundaries, mainly due to the fact that most projects in the construction industry must deal with unwanted and unexpected events during their various phases that directly influence the basic project objectives, causing delays and sending work over budget, and potentially even leading to project failure.
