    Assessing Antecedents And Consequences Of Scope Change: The Case Of Building Construction Projects In Addis Ababa
    (Addis Ababa University, 2018-06-02) Adamu, Yibekal; Bogale, Mengistu(PhD)
    Scope changes are inevitable in construction projects. Even though literatures have acknowledged scope changes as a significant factor inhibiting construction project performance, there seems to be limited studies in this domain to systematically synthesizing preceding studies. This paper critically assessed causes of scope changes on project deliverables in the construction management field. The objectives are to analyse the severity and frequency of the causes of scope change during the implementation phase of building construction projects and to provide insights for directing further studies on building construction projects on similar and related topics in Ethiopia. The findings indicate that causes of scope changes list the causes. Though building construction projects commonly share key characteristics scope changes as a major cause of quality problems, project delays and cost overruns are not studied in Ethiopia. Therefore suggestions for future research recognizing the causes and effects of scope changes in construction project in Ethiopia, by identifying factors for scope changes and their resulting impacts on project deliverance. Thus, the analytical framework for future study is presented.
