Abstract
Ethiopia's construction industry is crucial for the nation's economy, with billions of Birr annually.Sustainable construction aims to minimize environmental impacts while delivering economic
benefits. However, these projects face unique uncertainties due to the rapid development ofsustainable techniques and technologies. This study aims to identify and analyze risk factors
influencing the performance of sustainable building projects. The study used primary andsecondary data, including questionnaires and interviews, and the construction industry's annual
reports. The study population was selected using cencus inquiry. The study design is quantitativeand explanatory. 80 responses were gathered from 94 disseminated surveys. Descriptive and
inferential data analysis methods were applied. The findings showed that all identified predictors(material and technology risks, stakeholder risks, technical risks, management risks, and
regulatory and economic risks) have a significant relationship with project performance, with thefive independent factors having a combined 38.7% influence. It is advised that East Africa
Specialized Engineering PLC (EASE) endeavor to reduce the likelihood of these risk variablesmaterializing to improve project performance.
