Abstract

Saudi Arabia leads the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in the construction industry, with 63% of the region’s future projects and $1.4 trillion in building and transportation projects. Previous studies have shown that 60% of construction projects are behind the schedule. One of the reasons behind this delay is the inappropriate selection of contractors for construction projects; therefore, the development of a contractor performance assessment model is needed for construction projects in Saudi Arabia. The proposed model includes the major key performance indicators (KPIs) used to measure contractors’ performance in construction projects. Afterward, a questionnaire is conducted with construction professionals to recommend the important KPIs to consider while developing the model. The analytic hierarchy process decision-making technique is applied for assessing relative priorities among the identified KPIs based on expert or decision-maker consensus. The results show that the time category is the most important in selecting the best contractor, emphasizing the significance of timely project completion.

为沙特阿拉伯建筑项目承包商开发绩效评估模型

沙特阿拉伯的建筑业在海湾合作委员会国家中处于领先地位，占该地区未来项目的 63%，建筑和交通项目总投资达 1.4 万亿美元。以往的研究表明，60% 的建筑项目落后于计划进度。造成工期延误的原因之一是建筑项目的承包商选择不当；因此，需要为沙特阿拉伯的建筑项目开发一个承包商绩效评估模型。建议的模型包括用于衡量建筑项目承包商绩效的主要关键绩效指标（KPI）。随后，对建筑专业人员进行了问卷调查，以推荐在开发模型时需要考虑的重要关键绩效指标。在专家或决策者达成共识的基础上，运用层次分析法决策技术评估所确定的 KPI 之间的相对优先级。结果表明，在选择最佳承包商时，时间类指标最为重要，强调了及时完成项目的重要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
