Abstract EN
This study uncovered inhibiting factors to cost performance in large construction projects of Malaysia.
Questionnaire survey was conducted among clients and consultants involved in large construction projects.
In the questionnaire, a total of 35 inhibiting factors grouped in 7 categories were presented to the respondents for rating significant level of each factor.
A total of 300 questionnaire forms were distributed.
Only 144 completed sets were received and analysed using advanced multivariate statistical software of Structural Equation Modelling (SmartPLS v2).
The analysis involved three iteration processes where several of the factors were deleted in order to make the model acceptable.
The result of the analysis found that R2 value of the model is 0.422 which indicates that the developed model has a substantial impact on cost performance.
Based on the final form of the model, contractor’s site management category is the most prominent in exhibiting effect on cost performance of large construction projects.
This finding is validated using advanced techniques of power analysis.
This vigorous multivariate analysis has explicitly found the significant category which consists of several causative factors to poor cost performance in large construction projects.
This will benefit all parties involved in construction projects for controlling cost overrun.
