| dc.description.abstract | Even though, efficient project management is crucial, managing several construction projects at once is a difficult undertaking that need for careful planning, coordinating, and carrying out. Organizations in the construction sector frequently work on several projects at once to satisfy client expectations, make the best use of available resources, and increase competitiveness. However, managing several projects at once can be difficult because it can lead to quality problems, cost overruns, and schedule delays (Abdul-Rahman, H., & Wang, C., 2011). The aim of this study is to identify the challenges of managing multiple construction projects simultaneously and their effect on cost, schedule, and quality within SI Construction PLC. In this study, qualitative research approach was applied. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data from project managers, site engineers, and other pertinent participants involved in the construction projects through interviews. To support the interview findings, pertinent literature and documentation were also reviewed. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis method identified by (Virginia et al., 2006). The results show that SI Construction PLC faces variety of difficulties while managing multiple projects at once. The distribution of resources, project coordination, communication, reporting practices, time management, stakeholder management, and risk management are some of these challenges. The results provided some important insights. First, it was learned that handling several projects at once had a negative effect on costs. According to the study, cost overruns and delays were frequently caused while managing multiple projects. However, SI Construction's dedication to upholding quality is constant throughout numerous projects; this is because the firm stresses on quality control, and employs extensive quality assurance procedures. Based on the findings, this study offers SI Construction PLC useful suggestions on how to enhance their multi-project management procedures and lessen the negative effects. These suggestions include increasing project monitoring and control procedures, putting in place strong resource allocation strategies, and investigating technical options | |
