Purpose: Highway projects in India have a history of cost overruns and delay in project delivery, thus incurring huge losses to public funds. The study aimed to measure the extent of influence of various constraints on the overall success of highway projects (e.g. National highway project, state highway projects and major district roads). Based on the literature, various factors were grouped under three categories (a) Project Constraints, (b) Project Governance Constraints and (c) Stakeholder Induced Constraints. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach was adopted. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted with 435 respondents from the field of highway projects with a minimum experience of 1¿year¿as Project Manager. The data was analyzed by partial least squares structural equation modeling technique. Findings: It was identified that the impact of project constraints (ES¿=¿0.313) on project success is more than that of project governance constraints (ES¿=¿0.231) and stakeholder induced constraints. Additionally, it was found that project governance constraints have a strong impact on project constraints (ES¿=¿0.535) and stakeholder induced constraints (ES¿=¿0.403). Originality/value: The study presented in this paper is first of its kind to measure and articulate the impact of project governance constraint, project constraint and stakeholder induced constraints on project success.

Purpose: Construction projects in the real estate sector are important for a nation¿s economic growth. However, owing to several constraints and stereotypes, the construction industry is suffering from major capital losses. A review of recent literature revealed that risks occurring in real estate construction projects (RECPs) carried out in developing economies can be divided into four categories, i.e. financial risks, design risks, execution risks and sociopolitical risks. This study aims to identify the critical factors that lead to these risk categories and develop a control structure for RECPs. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative method, i.e. a questionnaire-based survey, was used for this study. Using a random sampling technique the questionnaire was distributed to selected, highly experienced project managers. To determine whether the factors identified as part of the literature review strongly influence the categories, the factor analysis of the observations was performed. Findings: The observations made in this study lead to the identification of six critical risk causing factors, i.e. lack of efficient planning, execution constraints, external constraints, client-induced constraints, project constraints and partner experience. The observations indicated a lack of knowledge of project management, organizational culture and a claims redressal mechanism in RECPs. Also, this study recommends a blockchain-based control structure to control the occurrence of the risk causing factors identified. Originality/value: This study recommends a blockchain-based control structure for controlling the risks occurring.

The conventional procurement framework has been in presence since the development of the building construction. Since its rise, it has worked up to mark. Be that as it may, as of late, expansive and complex ventures have demonstrated hard to oversee. The investigation of procurement frameworks and project achievement is aimed for enhancing the viability of project procurement. Besides, almost no research has been led to decide the relationship of procurement and project success or disappointment in India. This exploration fills this hole as appropriation of its discoveries can enhance extend success in the Indian construction industry. The point of this research was to explore the impact of a procurement framework on the success of construction tasks. From the literature review and the investigation of the study comes about, four noteworthy discoveries were made as takes after. Firstly, the customary procurement framework is still the best known and connected framework in the Indian construction industry regardless of its various confinements. Secondly, the real issue with the customary procurement framework was the nonattendance of contribution from contractors. Thirdly, the primary reason referred to by most respondents for not utilizing the alternative procurement frameworks was absence of information. Fourthly, a building procurement framework has an impact on project's prosperity and in conclusion the coordinated procurement frameworks in India have not been broadly utilized and comprehended and consequently its utilization may not be effective. In light of these outcomes, it was prescribed that there ought to be a formal training on the accessibility of option procurement frameworks for use by partners in the Indian Construction industry. Likewise, workshops ought to be sorted out where specialists from nations, for example, Australia, United Kingdom, The United States of America would impart their encounters to their Indian partners.

The capacity to win contracts and to perform them at a benefit is resolved for the development contractual worker by two key resources: individuals and hardware. While the investigation of human asset is its very own field it must be recognized that the machines are likewise similarly essential in accomplishing the objectives of the associations. To be monetarily focused, a temporary worker's hardware must be aggressive, both mechanically and innovatively. Gear upkeep and repair is one basic part of hardware administration that must be executed with extraordinary care in order to guarantee that the types of gear stay in the most ideal conditions to create the greatest. To make this conceivable it is basic that there is a very much composed administration data framework that furnishes with the required data to land at right hardware choices. Records are the fundamental reports of an administration data framework and in this way it is indispensable that they are fittingly outlined and put into utilization in the association to furnish with the essential data as and when required. In this review the hardware support and repair records and the upkeep of development ventures have been considered to know the modern practices regarding their significance.

One of the long standing issues in the field of real estate sector construction disputes claims is the determination of a party responsible for occurrence of delays, delayed duration and its impact on as-planned construction schedule. A classification of delay analysis models shows that no model yet exists that is able to collect the causes of construction delays with determination of party responsible for it by evaluating time overrun due to addition of various delays in as-planned construction schedule, and to suggest delay prevention measures to minimise their arrival in real estate projects. The purpose of this document is to develop and test of such a design method to find construction delays liability in real estate sector construction projects by collecting delays arrival causes with the prevention measures that should be adopted to minimize occurrence of construction delays. A methodology is developed for resolving real estate construction disputes claims by finding a party responsible for delay arrival and enable one to follow lean construction principles to avoid same type of delay in other work packages and in other real estate construction projects. The tests of this design method with the participants reveal that by completing the steps in the proposed design procedure, users will have detail of causes of time overrun of an activity/work package of real estate construction projects, the responsible delay caused party will be asked for compensation based on delayed time and the last step of design method provides suitable principles to users to be efficient in performing delay- free work.

In today's business environment, the coordination of just-in-time (JIT) production and transportation is one of the most challenging aspects to ensure timely delivery of materials to distributed customers. Several risk factors make JIT supply chains more vulnerable and methods for analysing and understanding supply chain risks are still needed in construction. This paper describes the implementation of failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) tool and discrete event simulation to assess supply chain risks, identify vulnerabilities, and measure the impact of disruptions of a ready-mix concrete supply chain. Interviews with concrete batch plant managers and current demand, production, and delivery performance data served as input for analysis. We provided a systematic method that can be used by concrete suppliers to improve planning and delivery of ready-mix concrete. Different mitigation strategies were suggested based on our findings.
