This paper identifies issues in
implementing large infrastructure projects in Pakistan.
Input from key stakeholders of the construction industry
(consultants, clients, and contractors) was required to
gauge their perceptions about the existing problems in the
industry and their suggested solutions. This was necessary
to compare what the stakeholders considered were hurdles in
their growth with what this study identified as the main
problems within the construction industry. Therefore,
perceptions of stakeholders were deemed essential to
identify priority issues within the construction industry so
that solutions to improve the implementation capacity of the
industry are directed towards these areas. While the overall
perception among contractors and consultants was one of
disillusionment with clients and government procedures, they
were modestly upbeat about future business prospects. They
recognized that economic activity was rising in Pakistan and
that there were prospects for them both there and abroad.
They referred to the period since the 1990s as a period of
lost opportunity, during which they faced a serious slump,
but were now modestly hopeful and keen on moving ahead.
While they put some of the blame on the clients, they were
generally pragmatic and mindful of their own shortcomings.
The survey findings and deliberations in the focus group
discussions showed a similarity of views on key issues
pertaining to the four thematic areas, namely, business
environment, human resources, supply of materials, and
equipment. Conclusions are drawn that contract provisions
for timely payments to sub-contractors need to be strengthened. |
