| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the assessment of contractual breaches and delays in road construction projects, focusing specifically on the Arbereketi to Gelemso Road Project in Ethiopia. As infrastructure development is critical for economic growth, understanding the factors contributing to project inefficiencies is essential. The primary objective of this research is to identify the underlying causes of contractual breaches and delays, thereby providing insights for improving project management practices. Utilizing a quantitative and qualitative research approach, data was collected through questionnaires and document involving key stakeholders, including contractors, consultant and the Employer. The data is further Analysed statistically and thematically. The findings reveal that inadequate planning, frequent changes in project execution sequences, funding challenges, and regulatory issues significantly impede project progress, leading to cost overruns and extended timelines. The study concludes that effective contract management practices are vital for mitigating these challenges. Recommendations include prioritizing strategic planning, enhancing stakeholder communication, and implementing structured change management processes. By addressing these issues, stakeholders can improve the efficiency and sustainability of road construction projects in Ethiopia, ultimately benefiting local communities and contributing to national development goals Key Words: Road construction projects, Contractual breaches, Delays, Project management and Risk management | |
