| Abstract: | The road project is said to be success full, if it meets time, cost, and quality as per the need of the client and stakeholders. In order to achieve these targets, effective assessment of time and cost performance is should be present and given due attention. If not, risk may appear in many ways and could result in time and cost overrun, financial losses, loss of life, environmental damage, material expenditure and many more failures
The delivery of road construction projects in Ethiopia is affected by non-optimum performance. With this poor performance of the delivery of construction projects as the instigator, this study set major objectives of exploring the past and current practices of the performance of Addis Ababa road construction project.
The study design is descriptive research. Both primary and secondary data were collected by using questionnaire and review of previous documents. The primary data was collect through a well-structured questionnaire which is distributed to owner (AACRA), contractor and consultant and different professionals and experts who work in those sectors. Literature review about performance evaluation is review to identify the factors affecting the performance of road construction projects.
Accordingly, this study attempts to identify the major causes of poor time and cost performance of Addis Ababa road project, consequential impact in the Ethiopian road construction industry; which can use as the way forward for future work in coping with this performance problem. A thorough literature review and desk study was done, through which a number of time and cost performance factors were identified in international and national construction industry sector.
Therefore, this research try to assess the cause of poor time performance and budget overrun which mainly showed by contractor, consultant and contractor on Addis Ababa city road project of different area
The Maine purpose of the study is to assess the cause of time delay and cost overrun of Addis Ababa road projects. The major finding is include the road project of AACRA have time delay and cost overrun, identified client, consultant, contractor and external environment related factors that resulted on cost overrun the client is recommended to solve problems associated with delivery of the site (right of way problem), award to list bidder as soon as possible, revise the scope of the project before implementation, and improve weakness in payment and finance problem.
