The reason why some projects are successful while others fail can be attributed to a variety of factors? How do we plan, implement and manage projects successfully and circumvent in-built failures system in all projects? Who are the key people responsible for success or failures? What roles do government authorities, developers, contractors, project management consultants (PMCs), architects, town planners, engineers, site managers/engineers, quantity surveyors, financiers, local bodies and even the public play in ensuring project success and that such failures do not happen or do we simply go on a merry-go-round-finger-pointing when something goes drastically wrong? Can risk-management be the answer?Is it the system of contracts or method of choosing and selecting contractors? The lack of corporate/project leadership and sound project planning are also contributing factors to projects failures? All these pertinent questions on project failures or success will be addressed in this book!
