Quantification of the Influence of Factors Causing Time and Cost Overruns in Tanzanian Construction Projects ()
ABSTRACT
Tanzania suffers problems of cost and time overruns
in the construction business. Many factors are contributing to the cost and
time overruns in Tanzania construction projects. There are many publications in
different countries about cost and time overruns in construction projects,
these publications show that the problem of overruns varies from country to
country. This variation gives the idea that even in Tanzania there is a need
for researches concerning cost and time overruns. Some researchers worked on
the problems of cost and time issues in Tanzania but narrowing only on the
identification of factors. This study used the survey to identify the frequent
factors in Tanzania and the quantitative assessment of the completed projects
to quantify the influence of each factor contributing to cost and time
overruns. To come up with the results shows the extent influence of each factor
in overruns in expected in this research and it will be the key pillar in
construction management to fight against overruns.
