Many construction projects face delays, cost overruns, or even complete failure. From planning gaps to stakeholder misalignment, construction projects face recurring hurdles that impact success. Addressing feasibility, contracts, execution, and external factors can help mitigate risks and keep projects on track. The reasons often fall into four key categories:

✅ Contractor-Related Factors

✅ Client-Related Factors

✅ Consultant-Related Factors

✅ External/Environmental Challenges

Each of these has its own set of challenges—from unclear project scope to political instability.

Understanding these can help us mitigate risk and deliver better outcomes.
