FACTORS AFFECTING SCHEDULE PERFORMANCE OF KALITY-TULUDIMTU (KT) ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

Abstract

In order for a road construction project to be considered successful with regards to its schedule performance, the project must be completed within the proposed time frame or even earlier. Schedule performance measures how well the project is performing in terms of meeting the pre-determined timelines and milestones that were established in the project planBased on the general research goal of identifying the reasons behind the kality-tuludimtu (KT) road construction project's delays, this study focused on five specific goals, including estimating the size of the delays and project delay using regression analysis and examining the impact of schedule performance delays on the project. 75 professionals who have worked on kality-tuludimtu (KT) road construction projects made up the study's participants, and 68 of them responded. Self-administered questionnaires were picked up and dropped as soon as respondents finished filling them out. Tables and graphics were used to present the data that had been gathered. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 program. The results showed that client related, contractor related and material and equipment -related issues cause the majority of project delays. The regression result shows that client related factor, contractor related factor and material and equipment related factor has a positive and significant influence on the schedule performance delay whereas consultant related factor has a positive but insignificant influence on the schedule performance delay, external related factor has a negative insignificant influence on the schedule performance delay. Finally, study came to the conclusion that client-related, contractor related and material and equipment related factors have been a source of schedule performance delay, and it makes the recommendation that the client and contractor work closely together and to avoid delays brought on by a lack of materials, contractors should always keep an inventory of the number of materials on site to determine when they need to be replaced. Therefore, before using any products, contractors should make sure they are constantly present.
