“…Among several multi-criteria decision-making methods, the AHP approach was the most appropriate for the study objective. First, AHP is a widely used approach for the relative assessment of investigated alternatives in the literature (Liu et al, 2020;Durdyev et al, 2018a;Leal, 2020). Also, the AHP method provides a hierarchical structure, which can help respondents comprehend the whole process (Yang et al, 2013).…”

PurposeReportedly, green roof (GR) makes a significant contribution towards a truly sustainable-built environment; however, its implementation is yet to hit a sufficient level in developing countries. Thus, this study assesses GR implementation strategies in developing countries by providing a comparative analysis through experts in Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a four-step methodological approach to achieve the research aim: literature review, focus group discussion, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) analysis and correlation analyses. First, a literature review followed by a focus group discussion is used to determine 18 (out of 25 initially) strategies for the selected context and these are classified into three categories: governmental and institutional support, knowledge and information and policy and regulation. Afterward, the identified GR strategies are evaluated using the FAHP with the data gathered from the experts in the countries studied. Finally, correlation analyses were used to observe the strength of agreement between the assessments of experts from the included countries.FindingsThe findings indicate that financial incentives, low-cost government loans and subsidies and tax rebates are the essential strategies for the wider adoption of GR. Evaluating the policy and regulations strategies also showed that mandatory GR policies and regulations and better enforcement of the developed GR policies are ranked as the most prominent strategies. The findings show a low level of agreement among respondents from Kazakhstan, while there is a high level of agreement between the experts in Malaysia and Turkey.Research limitations/implicationsThe research contribution is twofold. First (research implication), the study identifies the strategies through a complete literature review. Second, the identified strategies are evaluated through the lenses of experts in three developing countries which are hoped to provide (practical contribution) a better understanding of the most effective strategies that require attention and enable the frontline stakeholders (particularly government authorities) to focus on them.Originality/valueThe study findings provide a good point of departure to explore the strategies for broader adoption of GRs in developing economic setting.

“…Any negligence leads to delays (Ashley and Bonner, 1987; Anwar et al , 2018; Ashworth and Perera, 2018; Bhardwaj, 2018). Furthermore, it is essential to get environmental clearances as not having them can also lead to a halt in the execution of a project (Chin and Hamid, 2015; Durdyev et al , 2018; Montes, 2018; Naji and Ali, 2018). Sometimes the political situation of the country is a determinant for the smooth execution of construction activities (Zou et al , 2007; Cui and Gu, 2018; He and Lu, 2018; Nguyen et al , 2018; Ogungbile et al , 2018; Zarei et al , 2018).…”

Purpose Construction projects in the real estate sector are important for a nation’s economic growth. However, owing to several constraints and stereotypes, the construction industry is suffering from major capital losses. A review of recent literature revealed that risks occurring in real estate construction projects (RECPs) carried out in developing economies can be divided into four categories, i.e. financial risks, design risks, execution risks and sociopolitical risks. This study aims to identify the critical factors that lead to these risk categories and develop a control structure for RECPs. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative method, i.e. a questionnaire-based survey, was used for this study. Using a random sampling technique the questionnaire was distributed to selected, highly experienced project managers. To determine whether the factors identified as part of the literature review strongly influence the categories, the factor analysis of the observations was performed. Findings The observations made in this study lead to the identification of six critical risk causing factors, i.e. lack of efficient planning, execution constraints, external constraints, client-induced constraints, project constraints and partner experience. The observations indicated a lack of knowledge of project management, organizational culture and a claims redressal mechanism in RECPs. Also, this study recommends a blockchain-based control structure to control the occurrence of the risk causing factors identified. Originality/value This study recommends a blockchain-based control structure for controlling the risks occurring.

“…Kaming et al (1997) reported design changes as one of the most significant causes of COs in the high-rise projects in Indonesia and concluded that these changes inevitably cause variation in the project's original cost. It was also reported that any modification(s) made in the design depends on the phase of the construction, causes significant losses in the project's productivity performance (Durdyev et al, 2018a). As an innovative approach, integrated project delivery (IPD), which encourages collaborative decisions made by the key stakeholders at the earliest stages of the project design , has been recommended to avoid/minimize design changes at the construction phase of the project (Malin, 2015); hence, to improve the project schedule performance (Kibert, 2016) and preserve project budget (Malin, 2015).…”

“…It is of utmost importance to establish a plan, which is explicitly operational and considers possible obstacles throughout the broken down project milestones. Thus, it has been seen to be critical to the probable project success (Durdyev et al, 2018a). On the other hand, any poorly planned project will face various consequences, such as project delays , poor cost performance (Alinaitwe et al, 2013) and productivity issues (Durdyev et al, 2018b).…”

PurposeThe study investigates the causes of project cost overruns (COs) that have been reported in the construction-management-related articles since 1985.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aim and provide recommendations to avoid project COs, 48 selected journal articles were reviewed and assessed with regard to the countries, institutions and researchers that have contributed to the subject.FindingsThe review of the articles shows that the subject has attracted a considerable attention from the researchers worldwide. However, the problem mainly occurred in developing countries and the researchers drew the attention on the resource-related, economic/financial as well as political problems. While 79 causes of COs were identified, the top ten causes of project COs, which have received the highest number of citations by the reviewed articles, were presented and discussed. These causes are: design problems and incomplete design, inaccurate estimation, poor planning, weather, poor communication, stakeholder's skill, experience and competence, financial problems/poor financial management, price fluctuations, contract management issues and ground/soil conditions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study findings have several implications, which are not only for the academic world, but also for the construction front line. For scholars, the study provides a list of project COs that the researchers in the area could benefit for their future studies. The industry practitioners could find ways to improve project cost performance by giving attention to the causative factors that are significantly affecting construction projects and investing their resources and efforts towards the most occurred ones.Originality/valueThus, this study provides insight into the research output on the subject and a checklist of COs, which is believed to provide a better understanding of significant areas requiring attention where steps should be taken to minimize or control factors causing COs in construction projects.
