Proper planning and management of construction projects have long been regarded as a necessity. The ability to make sound decisions solve problems using appropriate performance reports related the project implementation process are two most key factors in controlling management. Even though these considerably contribute precise performance, previous research has failed investigate them their fu...

The aim of this study is to present a new method to predict project time and cost under uncertainty. Assuming that what happens in projects implementation which is expressed in the form of Earned Value Management (EVM) indicators is primarily related to the nature of randomness or unreliability, in this study, by using Monte Carlo simulation, and assuming a specific distribution for the time an...

The most important aim of every project is on time completion, budget consideration and reaching the highest possible quality, based on contract. This paper suggests a methodology for risk management in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects. Risk management enables project teams to perform with minimum deviation from predetermined goals. The proposed methodology identifies a...

Many construction projects in developing countries including Zanzibar suffer from time and budget overruns. The Revolution Government of established different bodies such as Contractors Registration Board (ZCRB), Architects, Engineers Quantity Surveyors (ZAEQRB), Public Procurement Disposal Asset Authority (ZPPDA), among others with the aim controlling performance project. Often scope creep, co...

Recent literature on project management has emphasised the effort which is spent by the management team during the project control process. Based on this effort, a functional distinction can be made between a top down and a bottom up project control approach. A top down control approach refers to the use of a project control system that generates project based performance metrics to give a gene...

Completing a project on time and budget are essential factors for the success of any project. One technique that allows predicting final cost is earned value management (EVM). In this technique, different mathematical methods have been proposed over last 30 years. These formulas make use activities’ actual costs durations as progresses. EVM widely used by many professionals. However, very few s...
