REVIEW : Are construction companies scapegoats for project failures?

Posted by on
In light of several major contractors emphasizing their efforts to reduce exposure to riskier projects, a question arises: Are construction companies serving as convenient scapegoats for politicians and the general public when projects encounter challenges? This query stems from the perception that construction companies may be held liable for budget overruns or schedule delays, making them an easy target for criticism and blame.

Professor Edwards, an adjunct professor, believes that politicians should avoid turning infrastructure projects into a political game. He emphasizes that construction companies should not be blamed when things go wrong.

He made the following suggestions:
  1. The West should learn from China's success in identifying infrastructure projects of national interest and offer them full support.
  2. Construction companies can identify potential delays by conducting systems analysis and ensuring client understanding during the briefing stage.
  3. Clients also have a role in minimizing price pressure on contractors.
He concludes that unforeseen events like force majeure, war, or pandemics remain difficult to predict.
