| description | The main objective of a construction project is to complete a project successfully; that is to
complete on time, within budget and standard quality as specified. The objective of this
paper is to explore the limitation and difficulties encountered by project manager in the
implementation of the project management concept in the government project in the
Sultanate of Oman. This study uses survey as the medium of date collection. The
questionnaires were distributed to respondents that are directly involved in the project life
cycle; from feasibility stage, design, procurement, construction phases until the completion
of projects. The results of the survey found obstacles associated with the implementation of
project management concept in the government projects. These include the identification of
causes of delay, and variation orders. The results of this study revealed that the lack clients’
awareness on the project management concept gave an impact on the implementation of
project management concept in government projects. This study further found that variation
orders and additional works are significant causes of delay in projects; especially in
government projects. This paper also suggests recommendation to overcome these
problems and insights for future research. |
