| dc.description.abstract | The electro-mechanical construction sector in Ethiopia has seen a tremendous evolution in the last few years and is expected to bloom even further in the coming years. It is one of the economic sectors which employed numerous citizens and can possibly play a critical role for the growth and transformation of the country. Successful implementation of electro-mechanical projects in to reality is one of the most important and critical aspects of any electro-mechanical projects worldwide. The electro-mechanical sector in Ethiopia is challenged via several challenges affecting its successful impetrations. This research project work aims to assess challenges in the implementation of electromechanical projects in Ethiopia: a case study of Unilever manufacturing plant in east zone industry park - HVAC system. This research study work used a quantitative methodology, collecting data through the use of questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to choose a total of fifty-four participants who agreed to take part in the study. The study found a number of factors affecting electro-mechanical project implementation in Ethiopia; therefore, it can be used as a guide for future research. It was discovered that there is a serious gap; in electro-mechanical (HVAC) awareness and practice, level of project planning and coordination, resource availability, level of technical expertise, technological infrastructure, familiarity with the regulations and guidelines governing electro-mechanical systems, integration and adoption of cutting-edge technologies. The research recommends that critical interventions in electro-mechanical systems awareness and practices creation, involvement of project planning and coordination specialists, availing technological infrastructures to support project implementation, the need for electro-mechanical firms to better reorganize so that they can better deal with project planning, strategizing, coordination and implementations is a must if the sector is deemed to succeed and tap its full potential in the coming years. Key words: Electro-Mechanical, Project, Project Implementation Challenges, HVAC. | |
