Assessment of the Hindrance of Private Construction Projects Completion in Tanzania: A Case of Dar Es Salaam
![](https://www.texilajournal.com/thumbs/article/150.jpg)
Abstract:
The
study has intended to assess the hindrance for the completion of private
construction projects in Tanzania. The study was guided by specific objectives
that aimed to establish the extent to which top management support, procurement
process and communication determines completion of private construction
projects in Tanzania. The quantitative research
approach and cross-section research design were employed to collect data from
the 5 construction companies implementing the private construction project in
Dar es salaam, Tanzania. The relative relevance index (RII) was used to
rank several factors in terms of their significance for timely completion of
road building projects.The findings shows that, top management support,
procurement process and communication found to be major determinant for the
timely completion of the private construction project. majority responses
stated that good communication and control is major determinant for the top
management to support the completion of the private construction project in
Tanzania. The study has found that timely availability of project materials has
been ranked as the number one procurement process which influences
successful completion of private construction projects. Furthermore, the
findings rank the communication channel which agreed and accepted by all players influences
successful completion private construction projects. The study concluded that, top
management-related factors showed a significant impact on the timely completion
of private construction projects in Tanzania; the factors thought to be most
important for promoting timely completion of private construction projects can
improve performance in the private construction sector, reduce time and cost
overruns, and raise the caliber of deliverables.
