“…The response rate of 20.9 percent is not uncommon and acceptable and is in line with the opinions of Akintoye (2000) and Dulami et al, (2003). They reported that the norm response rate in the construction industry for postal questionnaires is around 20-30 percent.…”

Project effectiveness measures are normally used by most researchers and practitioners to judge project performance and project success. This paper provides an empirical analysis of measures of success in terms of effectiveness performance in the development of construction projects in Malaysia. A survey was conducted in Malaysia among the four project stakeholders: the Government, private clients, consultants, and contractors. In total 93 respondents completed the questionnaire. Lists of effectiveness of success measures were identified for the respondents to identify their level of success criticality to the Malaysian construction projects.The data were analysed by means of statistical analysis i.e. ranking of variables based on the mean values, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and factor analysis techniques. The first finding revealed that the level of success criticality with regards to project efficiency performance in the development of construction projects in Malaysia is according to the specific requirements and priorities of different project stakeholders. The second finding shows that effectiveness measures are related to the project 'results' achieved in the development of construction project. These are represented by the five principal factors namely: Learning and Exploitation; Client Satisfaction; Stakeholder Objectives; Operational Assurance and User Satisfaction. It is anticipated that the findings reported in this paper could be important for future strategies and guidelines for the development of projects in Malaysia.

“…Once the project objectives are met, KPIs are used to evaluate the project's success. The project impacts, outcomes, outputs, and inputs can be clarified and linked by the use of indicators; problems that may slow down the progress of the project can also be highlighted (Effective Implementation: Key to Development Impact, September, 1992).…”

Libya is a developing country that has a growing construction industry, however, the management of construction projects frequently experiences challenges with time and cost restraints and this affects the overall performance of the project as well as the performance of the project managers. The main aim of this paper is to apply BSC in the Libyan construction industry and evaluate the factors that impact project manager performance and their ability to complete and deliver projects successfully in Libya. This study will ascertain the role of project managers, the challenges that project managers in Libya frequently encounter the cause of time and cost overruns within construction projects and the main factors for successful construction projects. This research adopted both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The findings are based upon 300 structured questionnaires distributed to general, project managers working on construction sectors in Libya (Tripoli). Completed questionnaires received were 183. This is a response rate of 61%. A statistical analysis was used to confirm and address the issues of reliability and validity of the questionnaire survey as a measuring instrument. In addition structured interviews with qualified project managers were used to confirm that the data collected were truly reflective. Upon the data analysis from the questionnaire survey and structured interview the project manager is the most important factor affecting the success of the project in construction industries Libya, furthermore project manager skills are important components that influence the performance of project manager.

“…A sample of 120 organisations were electronically emailed questionnaires in the UK with 69 responses thus signifying a response rate of 57.5% which is in line with the views of Akintoye [29] and Dulami et al [30]. The adoption of stratified random sampling allowed the researchers more control over the eventual sample to ensure it reflected the makeup of the overall population whilst also minimising the possibility by bias by ensuring every item of the population had an equal probability of being selected [31].…”

Risk assessment methods for life cycle costing in buildings

Abstract. Purpose. There has been a growing consciousness of the significance of considering the costs of buildings and of developing financial methods to evaluate the life cycle costs (LCC) of buildings in use. Before any decision to invest capital in a building project or existing infrastructure is taken, it is essential that all corporate occupants and stakeholders in the policymaking practice are fully aware of the risks that are inherent as any LCC estimate will always involve a degree of risk exposure. Design/methodology/approach. Questionnaire survey to 120 construction professionals was used to gauge the current level of awareness, usage and advocated benefits of risk assessment methods in LCC. The questionnaire comprised three main sections each exploring different parts of the research question. Findings. The key findings of the statistical analysis indicated that there is a low awareness and usage of risk assessment methods and four factors were the most advocated benefits of its application to corporate occupiers and decision makers. This study fills the gap in the existing knowledge by addressing concerns over risk assessment to improve the confidence in LCC. Research limitations/implications. Although the data used in this paper was from professionally qualified members of either the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the British Institute for Facilities Management (BIFM), the research is limited in some ways in that it does not cover all the professionals in the construction industry. Nevertheless, all the professionals who responded to the questionnaire have up-to-date level of awareness of risk assessment methods in life cycle costing. Practical implications. As a result of growing awareness of whole life costing among corporate occupants and facilities managers in contemporary building projects, precise assessment of cost is a challenging undertaking as it consists of some measure of risk with regards to the running and maintenance costs during the entire life of the buildings. Thus, the existence of considerable improbability and doubt regarding cost and time evidence of an LCC study would have mind blowing implications on final results and consequently have minute bearing on subsequent decisions made by corporate occupiers. Social implications. Value for money for construction products and its facilities should not be viewed only in terms of costs to design and construction. Rather, it is vital for corporate occupants and society in general to consider other key variables such as operations, maintenance, renovation, replacement, and end of life costs. Originality/value. This paper contributes with new outlooks aimed at assessing the current level of awareness, usage and advocated benefits of risk assessment methods in LCC and adds to the limited empirical studies on risk assessment to corporate occupants and decision makers.
