  • Abstract:
    Cost, schedule, and quality are the main indicators of performance in construction projects. These indicators are highly interrelated and require some balance and trade-off among them to achieve efficient overall control over project performance. Focusing on these performance indicators, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the use of conventional control techniques in projects involving reconstruction of occupied buildings. To facilitate this analysis, performance data have been collected, using a questionnaire survey, from 25 reconstruction and 15 new construction projects. The survey was followed by structured interviews with construction practitioners and project participants to elicit success-related factors and to identify some of the unique problems affecting the control of reconstruction projects. Using the collected data, performance comparison was conducted between new and reconstruction projects along with a detailed analysis of the suitability of existing techniques for the control of the cost, schedule, and quality in reconstruction projects.
