Abstract

The construction industry is known for its chronic problems of fragmentation, low productivity, time and cost over-runs, poor safety, inferior working conditions, and insufficient quality which ultimately lead to project failure and poor construction images. A project becomes a failure when it does not deliver what was required within the agreed-upon budget and time. Majority of projects are temporary efforts to create value through a unique product, service or result. Almost all projects have a beginning and an end. They have a team, a budget, a schedule and a set of expectations the team needs to meet. Each project is unique and differs from routine operations and
the ongoing activities of the organization. The project of an organization reaches a conclusion once the goal is achieved. The purpose of construction project management is to control a project's time delivery, cost and quality, and it requires a professional management to decrease failure factors. This study covers the construction project management failures and their causes during and after the construction and focuses most on the critical factors that cause the failure of construction projects in Kabul city. Two types of methodologies have been used which will allow the researchers to dive deep and get more information regarding flaws and failure causes, especially by the help of root cause analysis that has made the research more effective. Cost control, scheduling, procurement, and risk assessment have been reported as the significant issues that must be addressed in the complicated discipline of construction project management.
