Abstract
rise building (HRB) projects at industry level and based on the study it recommends solution to full fill
the gap between them and indicate that such projects should be implemented by local contractors (at
least 85%) as its implementation is much connected to country’s development. The other objective
of the research is to explore whether all political, economic, social, technological, environmental
and legal factors (PESTEL) have very close relationship with high rise building construction
and to aware all stake holders in development of country’s PESTEL. However unless such
projects are not implemented by citizens of the country the development of the country and the
welfare of the citizens will not be achieved because the jobs were occupied by foreigners and need
of too many foreign currencies for international contractors.
Different literatures are reviewed to show the relationship between the implementation of high
rise building and country’s PESTEL development. This research was attempted to assess the current
situation and formulate and give recommendations with respect to high rise construction in
accordance with the outcome of the paper. The main tools for the collection of data included case
study, questionnaires, interviews and site visit were used to identify the various efforts that have
been made in the past and to evaluate and examine the reason of hiring foreign contractors on
HRB construction project. Simple statistical analysis involving tables and percentages were used
in analyzing the results from the questionnaire.
The analysis and discussion part classifies causes of performance difference in to four major parts,
that is the General, Managerial, Technological and Technical parts. Hence according to the case
study, the respondents and analysis of data the single out standing cause of hiring international
contractor is lack of foreign currencies which is found in Managerial part. Again based on top fifteen
factors analysis the Managerial part contributes more factors which causes hiring of international
contractors such as, poor enterprise management and poor quality management.
As per the result of this study the researcher recommends that there should be a mechanism that
local contractors get foreign currency in timely manner with the help of government and all stakeholders.
In addition to that managerial capacity of local contractors should be continuously upgraded
by on job and off job training with cooperation of government and concerned stakeholders.
