dc.description.abstract | In Sri Lanka there are many building projects which are either incomplete or simply
neglected. It is challenging for any country to see that the significant development if its
construction industry is inefficient. This is especially true for nations where numerous initiatives are frequently abandoned. Around the world, projects are still being abandoned.
In Sri Lanka number of abandoned projects have increased. Structured questionnaires,
interviews and comprehensive literature survey guided the study. The responses were
composed via e-mail and interviews. There were 50 responses from questionnaire survey
and 10 interviews including project managers, architects and chief Quantity surveyors
which, were chosen at random. Using SPSS, these statistical data were examined using
correlation and regression techniques, and content analysis was used to evaluate the
interviews. The findings demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between the
risk indicators and the project abandonment. The findings and recommendations that
were gained from this study can be applied for reducing the abandonment of building
construction projects in Sri Lanka. | en_US |
