A Circular Framework for Evaluating Highway Construction Projects Success: AHP Approach
Abstract: Success has always
been the ultimate goal of every activity, and a construction project is no
exception. There are few topics in the field of project management that are so
frequently discussed and yet so rarely agreed upon as that the notion of
project success criteria. Usually much of the national budget on infrastructure
development is channelled to highway construction projects. However, no
official studies have been presented before to evaluate the performance this
industry in Egypt. Consequently, this reflects the importance of this study
which aims at laying out a standard framework which identifies the criteria for
measuring projects success. The identified criteria, in turn, can be used as a
tool to help the stakeholders of the highway projects in Egypt in judging the
project performance and success during the project's post-construction phase.
Using a detailed literature review thirteen success measures are identified
(four objectives and nine subjective). Furthermore, the analytic hierarchy
process (AHP) is adopted to prioritize the identified measures based on
accumulative knowledge of academic experts in highways construction industry
through the application of questionnaire survey. The study establishes that
project completed on time, project completed within budget, health, safety and
number of accidents, profitability and quality in construction are the most
significant measures used for assessing the highway projects performance and
success.
