Abstract

In Chapter 2, an overview of construction practices in developing countries was presented. It is now well-established that the industry faced enormous challenges. To overcome these challenges and hence improve efficiency and productivity requires a deeper understanding of the challenges. In this chapter, the main challenges related to construction material and equipment, man-power and management will be examined. The consequences of these challenges which often lead cost overruns and delays will be discussed. The aim of this chapter is to provide a deeper understanding of these challenges so as to inform the choice of the decision support systems to be used in the subsequent chapters.
