Abstract
The primary purpose of this research was to study the impact of major risk factors which are

construction sites participated in the interview. The study revealed the major risk factors
affecting the performance of the high rise building construction industry which is thriving in
Addis Ababa, which are Inflation and Exchange rate fluctuation, Incorrect plan of work, cost,
