摘要：
Although various studies have been undertaken into the factors affecting delays, cost overruns, quality, safety, and productivity, etc. and other problems in specific types of projects, these studies seldom discuss common and general problems of construction projects. Thus, comprehensive studies on these problems are essential. Since the problems are rather contextual, the studies need to focus on a specific geographical area, country or region. This paper presents problems of large construction projects in Vietnam. Data analysis revealed that the problems could be grouped under five major factors: (1) incompetent designers/contractors, (2) poor estimation and change management, (3) social and technological issues, (4) site related issues, and (5) improper techniques and tools. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd and IPMA.
