The severity of design-construction interface risks in Jordanian construction industry
The fragmented nature of the construction industry makes the management of a project a challenge mission. The interfaces between activities require attention to ensure a smooth performance. Interface risks affecting project constraints arise due to many internal and external causes. The main objective of this study is to identity, prioritize, eliminate, and alleviate interface risks. The data was collected from 155 respondents to a questionnaire; which was checked for reliability and validity using Cronbach alpha coefficient and EFA, respectively. ANOVA test was used to show if significant differences exist between the groups of respondents. According to the results of the risks-assessment matrix, the most two severe causes of interface risks are: awarding the contract to the lowest bidder regardless of the quality, and change in the owner's requirements. The study recommends that construction parties should develop a comprehensive strategy in establishing a sustainable interface-risks management. This study serves as another tool that can help construction professionals and researchers in dealing with similar interface risks. Also—beside findings from other studies—construction agencies such as FIDIC can modify their conditions accordingly when dealing with such risks.
