Abstract
Abstract: The construction industry is known for its chronic problems of fragmentation, low productivity, time and cost over-runs; poor safety, inferior working conditions, and insufficient quality which ultimately leads to project failure and poor construction images. Towards improving the performance of the construction industry and delivering successful projects, that satisfies their users, this paper aims to investigate the factors and impacts of project failure in the construction industry. In order to achieve the above mentioned aim, a research methodology, consists of literature review and case studies is designed to accomplish three objectives.Firstly, building a comprehensive background of the research topic through covering: the nature of construction industry, its stages and players, identifying the factors of project failure and their impacts.Secondly, classifying the project failure factors identified from literature review.
Outlining the research conclusions and recommendations useful to construction professionals towards delivering successful projects.
The value of this research stems from the need to overcome the factors that lead to project failure and avoid their impacts. In addition, it covers an important topic that received scant attention in construction literature with particular emphasis in the Egyptian market.
