| dc.description.abstract | This research paper investigates the determinants of time overrun in road construction projects, focusing on the Morka-Gircha-Chencha Road Project in Ethiopia. Employing a quantitative approach, data was collected via questionnaires distributed to stakeholders involved in the project, with 65 out of 74 returned. Using the Relative Importance Index (RII), the study evaluates factors contributing to delays, categorized into client-related issues (e.g., right-of-way problems, slow decision-making), contractor-related challenges (e.g., inadequate risk management, material delays), consultant-related aspects (e.g., design changes, poor contract management), and external influences (e.g., cost fluctuations, political instability). Recommendations include enhancing project planning, improving stakeholder coordination, implementing effective project management practices, and investing in professional capacity building to mitigate delays and enhance project efficiency in Ethiopian road construction. Key words: Road construction project, Contractor, Consultant, Client, Time overrun | |
