Abstract
In search of a greater standard of living , a big population is currently moving from the rural area to the urban city. The expense of life and price of land have consequently increased significantly. As a result, the government has started constructing affordable homes for those with low and intermediate incomes.Nevertheless, despite having a contract duration of 730 calendar days, a total of 33,316 homes are still being built (AAHDC, 2021), despite an average of 5000 days having passed since the anticipated completion date. Accordingly,due to the rising rate of inflation and price increases, as well as the time that could be used to build other types of public infrastructure, this delay causes a major loss for both the government and the end users. Hence, the primary goal of this study is to identify the elements that influence the timely completion of 40/60 housing projects by taking Addis Ababa's Ayat condominium site as case study. In particular, the study examines the link between the dependent variable (time overrun) and the independent variables (such as labor skill, monitoring & control subcontractor/ speciality scarcity, communication problems payment delays and subcontractor negligence).This was studied using a control,subcontractor/speciality scarcity, communication problems, payment delays, and subcontractor negligence). This was studied using a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative), with a casual and explanatory research design. Professionals from contractors, consultants, and clients of ongoing 40/60 condominium housing developments Ayat site in Addis Ababa are the study target groups. A total of eighty (80) samples were taken from which sixty three (63) were collected. A stratified sample technique was used to choose respondents. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to determine the variables influencing the timely completion of the housing projects. In the case study, manpower skill, monitoring and control, subcontractor shortage, communication problems, payment delays, and subcontractor negligence were found to be statistically significant after analysing the data using SPSS.As a result, it is anticipated that the results of this study will be of great significance to the housing development program and its stakeholders, enabling them to better understand the factors that influence the timely construction of housing and to identify measures and solutions that will improve the provision of housing in the required quantity and quality. Additionally, it will help home-owners and end users decide what elements to take into account when choosing affordable housing.
