“…This is evidenced in a study conductedby Shehuet al [19] has unveiled that a considerable number of sampled building projects suffered from budget overrun. The studiesby several other researchers [20][21][22] also confirmed that Malaysian construction projects have been affected by budget overrun. Many studies have been carried out on the issue of budget overrun, however, most of the studies focused only on the causative factors of budget overrun, while less attention has been given to its remedies.…”

Completion of a construction within planned budget is one of the main criteria of project success. However, budget overrun has become a recurring phenomenon in construction industry, which can result in multiple negative effects such as loss of economy, disputes among construction stakeholders, project abandonment, and drop in construction activities. This study aims to identify factors causing budget overrun in Malaysian Building projects and then to establish mitigation measures for the identified significant causative factors. Literature review, questionnaire survey and interviews were used in this study. Detailed literature review results in identification of 28 causative factors of budget overrun. The significant causative factors of budget overrun in building projects in Malaysia were investigated through a questionnaire survey of 83 contractors, 57 clients and 40 owners. The feedback of questionnaire survey was analyzed statistically. It was revealed that the significant causative factors of budget overrun include improper planning, variation in materials price, poor site management, lack of communication between parties, frequent design changes, incompetent contractors, mistakes during construction, shortage of site workers, delay in material procurement, and low speed of decisions making. After questionnaire survey, interviews with 16 construction experts were carried out in order to develop mitigation measures for the top ten significant causative factors. Based on semi-structured interviews, a list of mitigation measures for each of the top ten significant causative factors were derived. The findings of this study can be useful for construction practitioners in controlling budget overrun and to achieve project success.

“…In Nigeria, the most frequent causes of delays and were found to be improper planning, lack of proper communication, and shortage of supply (Kasimu, 2012). In Malaysia, the research has been found that cost overruns and time overruns are major issues with respondence of 89% and 92% of agreement respondent rate (Rahman, Memon, Nagapan, Latif, & Azis, 2013). In Egypt, the top ten delay causes according to their frequencies were found to be the type of project bidding and award (negotiation, lowest bidder), ineffective planning and scheduling of the project, variation of orders/change of scope by project owner during construction, late in receiving and approving design documents by the owner, finance, and payments of completed work by owner, poor site management and supervision, the low productivity level of labors, difficulties in financing the project by contractors, effects of subsurface conditions (like soil, high water table, etc), and slow decision making (Marzouk & El-Rasas, 2014).…”

Tanzania suffers problems of cost and time overruns in the construction business. Many factors are contributing to the cost and time overruns in Tanzania construction projects. There are many publications in different countries about cost and time overruns in construction projects, these publications show that the problem of overruns varies from country to country. This variation gives the idea that even in Tanzania there is a need for researches concerning cost and time overruns. Some researchers worked on the problems of cost and time issues in Tanzania but narrowing only on the identification of factors. This study used the survey to identify the frequent factors in Tanzania and the quantitative assessment of the completed projects to quantify the influence of each factor contributing to cost and time overruns. To come up with the results shows the extent influence of each factor in overruns in expected in this research and it will be the key pillar in construction management to fight against overruns.

Construction project management and cost management is a difficult process that affects the overall success of construction projects. The success of a construction project can be assessed according to key performance indicators (KPIs). Cost savings and cost optimization over the life of a construction project is one of these KPIs. Cost management is largely performed through intelligent information technology in the construction industry. Information systems and information technologies have seen an increase in use in the management of construction projects. The same goes for cost management. Several studies mentioned in the paper point to this increase in use in recent years also in the management of costs at various stages. Many studies point to the use of information technology and software applications in the field of cost management. Still, to a large extent, there are no surveys focused on the analysis of the impact and impact factor of information technology on cost savings or cost optimization in various phases of construction projects. The research discusses the issue of the impact of information technology on cost management in various phases of a construction project. The main goal of the research is to analyze the influence of information technology factors on cost savings and optimization in individual phases of a construction project. Several statistical methods were used in the research. The resulting model of information technology impact factor was created based on data processing and the use of the AHP method.
