Critical Factors Responsible for Failure of Construction Project in Kolkata: an Empirical Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Metallurgical & Materials Science and Engineering (IJMMSE) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Priority should be given to the rapidly changing construction industry in India in order to meet the challenges associated with the infrastructure projects management. This study has been performed for identifying the factors that are accountable for failures in the construction industry. This study is focused on finding the responsible factors for any project failure. Initially, with the sample size of 10, exploratory research was performed, which included individual house builders, engineers, contractors, masons, builders, and dealers to get the essence of the issue. For collecting the primary data, the research instrument that was used was the questionnaire. The questionnaire that was prepared with the sample size of 10 was further amended and managed with the sample size of 200 respondents in Kolkata. Civil engineers, surveyors, architects and building engineers were selected as target respondents, who are found to be experienced in the infrastructure projects management in Kolkata. To summarise the major factors, factory analysis was performed using SPSS software, which would have an impact on project failure. Summarizing the efforts, exploring the major factors for construction project failure is the first part involved. The second and third parts involved data analysis, research design and major elucidation of the results from the questionnaire that was provided to the respondents. Research findings analysis is also involved. The inferences, implications and limitations of this research were shown and a general conclusion was obtained
