  • Factors for Time and Cost Overrun in Public Projects
    Journal of Engineering, Project, and Production Management 2021, 11(3), 243-254 Factors for Time and Cost Overrun in Public Projects Shehryar Idrees1 and Muhammad Tariq Shafiq2 1Candidate MSc Engineering Management, Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, UET, Lahore, Pakistan 2Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture Engineering, UAE University, Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates, E-mail: [email protected] (corresponding author). Project Management Received December 22, 2020; revised March 1, 2021; accepted March 15, 2021 Available online April 16, 2021 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The construction industry in Pakistan is experiencing a surge in public sector projects due to major investments in infrastructure projects. Project delays and cost overrun are common features in public sector construction projects in Pakistan. Therefore, an understanding of the causes of time and cost overrun in public projects is essential. This paper investigates delay and cost overrun factors within the context of public sector projects in Pakistan. This study identifies 48 potential factors from existing literature and semi-structured interviews were used to refine the identified factors into ten categories. A questionnaire survey was used to establish a hierarchy of factors using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the major causes of time overruns in public projects were (1) legal issues, such as court stay orders, land acquisition, relocation of public facilities; (2) technical errors leading to low-quality drawings, rework, and errors at bidding stage; and (3) Poor project management. The findings of this research contribute to understanding the causes of project delays in public sector projects in Pakistan.

  • Budget Estimates for Service Delivery Output
    pl I Medium Term Budget Estimates 2018-21 Preamble I am honored to present the Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery (2018/21) as an integral component of the budget of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Financial Year (FY) 2018/19. This compilation is a manifestation of the Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) with Output Based Budgeting (OBB) methodology as adopted by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP). The strategic medium term, inclusive, participative and result oriented perspective offered by MTBF makes OBB instrumental to facilitate the realization of the socio-economic outcomes of the province viz-a-viz translation of its policy objectives into action. However, full-fledged implementation of such a broad based system requiring transition from highly complex and varied legacy system has been a great challenge. Nevertheless, the GoKP exemplified the journey to service delivery focused budget from line item input based budgeting via a coherent and methodical approach to culminate in structural and procedural reformation in due course of time. The timely initiation of budget cycle for budget 2018/19 with a composite approach exhibits the next generation improvements to optimize the implementation of OBB for improved public service delivery. Revised Budget Call Circular premised on the principles of simplicity, standardization and optimal use of Government Financial Management Information System. The budget calendar made more logical and consistent. Specialized Help Desks created within Finance Department to support departments during budget preparation process. An institutional framework approved for result oriented planning and budgeting which amongst other measures focuses the Value for Money (VfM) perspective to annual planning and budgeting.
