Abstract:
Main reasons for the failure of construction projects in Sri Lanka are the lack of an effective
Monitoring and Evaluation. Because project management is such an important component of
the planning and execution of a construction project, it's critical to identify the major factors
that necessitate leadership from the project team.
In this research expert interviews were conducted to develop the questionnaire survey and
validate the Monitoring and Evaluation methodologies described in the literature base
shortfalls and in the Sri Lankan road construction context, which was separated into three
stages: pre-construction, construction, and post-construction Project Directors, Team
Leaders, Project Managers, Senior Engineers, and Engineers in the Sri Lankan road
construction business were sent a web-based questionnaire. Reviewing available literature
and by interviewing the relevant people, 104 Shortfall factors, change the all part of matters
were identified and categorized as per the stage of their occurrence. When the road
construction projects are being implemented, it is important to be aware of the possible
factors to mitigate the matters arises through and accordingly take suitable Monitoring and
Evaluation. For all these measures, it is important to consider the ranking of these matters in
a way to identify/indicate priority for higher ranked matters to minimize adverse impacts by
using the Monitoring and Evaluation system in stages wise.
The research explores and analyzes the flaws in present monitoring systems, and can be used
as a guideline for selecting Monitoring and Evaluation systems for projects as well as
designing training programs for project staff to improve their skills. Furthermore, this study
will offer detailed insights and recommendations for improving project Monitoring and
Evaluation in the Sri Lankan road construction business. Respondents' perceptions of precontraction
stage,
construction
stage,
and
post-contraction
stage
rankings
were
also
assessed
and
the findings revealed that strong Monitoring and Evaluation are vital throughout the
construction stage of project secondary preconstruction stage and finally post construction
stage.
