Abstract

The study aimed to assess the current project implementation practice of Bamacon Engineering P.L.C and identify factors which affect the construction performance in accordance with their severity. The study used both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The qualitative approach was used for documents review and open ended questions that were included in the questioner and the quantitative approach for closed ended questions. Accordingly, data were collected through questionnaire from sample respondents. The target populations for this study were skilled laborers of five projects namely: DH1, Century 1, Century 2, Nomiyan Apartment and Metrpolitan Apartment located in Addis Ababa. The total population was 78. Sampling technique that the researcher used was Census Method. Out of 78 respondents, 52 workable data were obtained. Those data were, then, analyzed through descriptive and explanatory statistics. In the descriptive analysis, the data were presented in Histogram and Pi-chart form and from there described the situation of project implementation practice. Explanatory analysis using regression (Multiple Linear) was employed to analyze the severity of the factors affecting project success. The finding revealed that the five project success factors (Project, Client, Contractor, Consultant and supply chain) altogether account about 61% of the variance in project success; Project related factor, Consultant related factor and Contractor related factor have statistically significant contribution to the success of projects. It was also noted that projects run under the risk of cost overrun and time delay but keep the quality as required in the specifications. From the documents review, it was noted that there is a minimum of 26 days delay and work productivity of unskilled labor is less than required.
