| dc.description.abstract | Performance criteria and measures among construction projects reflect the
value of the project stakeholders on how they would be viewing the projects
they undertake. From the literature review, it was established that one of the
challenges facing public construction projects is the lack of sufficient and
formal approaches on which to evaluate project performance. It is against this
background that the present work attempts to develop a theoretical framework of
the performance evaluation of construction projects based on six key performance
indicators (KPIs) namely time, cost, quality, safety, minimum site disputes and
environmental impact. In so doing, the paper considers the perceptions of 160
stakeholders in construction projects comprising of clients, consultants and
contractors on recently completed Constituency Development Fund (CDF)
projects in Kakamega, Vihiga Bungoma and Busia Counties. Wehave identified
the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in public construction projects through
exploratory factor analysis and demonstrated the relationship between KPIs and
overall project performance with the help of a conceptual diagram. The diagram
reveals how performance of a public construction project can be assessed in terms
of the above six performance indicators. We have concluded by highlighting the
contribution of the paper to the existing body of project management literature
and providing recommendations for future research. | |
