This study aims to evaluate the procurement management system of residential complex projects in Erbil Governorate by adopting a case study for (20) constructed projects during 2007-2019, to calculate the percentage of procurement management practice and the risks that have a significant impact on cost, time, and quality. Based on a literature review and discussion with experienced construction managers and procurement officers, a questionnaire has been designed which represents a successful plan for a procurement management system that consists of ten phases, each of five items, and the risk results associated with the improper practice. The questionnaire was delivered to stakeholders working on residential complex projects to calculate the average practice of procurement management. It is revealed that 70% of residential complex projects practiced procurement management process with a percentage below 50%. Which is considered below the acceptable rate. The average practice of procurement management phases ranges between 33% for procurement risk management and 58.5% for forecasting. The study reviled that the practice of procurement management affects the cost and time mostly. There are 26 risks that range between high and significant categories for cost and 22 risks range between high and significant categories for time. The most significant factors for procurement management are creating an appropriate risk response plan, integrating the procurement plan with the budgeting, scheduling procurement due to dates and quantities, using the tendering procedure, and procurement quality assurance. This study may contribute to solving problems for future projects by improving the current system.
Background: The characteristics of any project require a specific type of management. Companies and project management associations all over the world started to develop and follow these standards. Best practices in project management, if followed, may increase the chances of success in achieving goals when dealing with projects. Many studies and researchers worked earlier on critical success factors (CSF). Each type of project has its own CSF that should be considered during construction. Objective: This study focuses on covering the notion of residential complex projects (RCP) success according to two fundamental components (success criteria and critical success factors by identifying the critical success factors (CSF) on the basis of their large impact on the golden triangle (cost, time, and quality), and calculating the degree of actual practicing of each factor. Methods: A questionnaire survey has been adopted and distributed to a sample of 142 stakeholders involved in the construction of residential complex projects to calculate their impact on time, cost, and quality. Moreover, a case study for 20 constructed projects has been adopted to evaluate the average fulfilments of 8 identified management success criteria and 8 identified project success criteria using a questionnaire survey. Finally, the degree of management success and project success for each project has been calculated. Results: The results reveal 17 CSF ranging between large and very large impact on managing residential complex projects. The highest rank is realistic cost estimate and projects completed within the budget, adequate risk identification and management procedures, adequate project management tools, techniques, and standards. The study revealed that project success criteria differ from one project to another and the relative priorities among critical success factors may change for different projects even if they are of same type not only among different types of projects. The results show that management success doesn’t guarantee project success because success means different things to different people. User’s satisfaction is essential for project success. Conclusion: A scientific base should be used to identify CSF with a significant impact on the golden triangle and combine it with project success criteria. That is the classic answer for the measurement success, because it could be easily applied and normally gathers consensus within stakeholders. This study will contribute an improvement to the existing management system.
Successful people utilize their time judiciously. The challenge of completing construction projects within the estimated time frame is the biggest concern among practitioners. In this research two aspects have been highlighted, first; the most significant factor of time overrun in construction projects performed by Erbil Municipality during road construction. The second aspect is the time management methods held by the project team. A random sampling technique was used to administer 126 questionnaires to professionals such as Project managers, Engineers, and contractors working on road construction projects for Erbil municipality. On the other hand, a case study has been conducted for 70 constructed projects during 2018-2022 for the evaluation of time management techniques in road construction projects by identifying the process of monitoring, software packages that are used for that, the progress of work, and investigating how progress records are kept in Erbil City municipality projects. The results revealed that the most significant factor for time overrun was the economic crisis which led to the failure to pay contractors' dues in a timely manner, followed by the unreasonable time frame for the completion of projects. Used techniques and software packages for time management were identified It is revealed that there is no specific method for managing time. Multiple methods are used depending on the situation.
