Answer to Question #162313 in Management for Wajahat ali

Question

What are the issues in the project management practices in the Pakistani construction industry?

Answer 1

The construction industry in Pakistan lacks centuries of experience that countries such as Britain boast about. This results in issues that affect project management practices. Lack of experience has led to inefficient management of projects that have resulted in untimely and low-quality construction practices. Additionally, there are issues with the delay of projects which can be linked to poor project planning and management. The result of this is claims, clashes of interest, and total desertion that eventually leads to the construction industry to grow slowly. Electricity lapses also affect Pakistan's project management practices by reducing the working hours of employees which leads to delays and increased costs of the project.
