Abstract

The Congolese construction industry faces many difficulties in dealing with the different factors that affect the proper performance of the construction process. Several key indicators (factors) that influence the construction performance in the Congo were selected for study and discussion. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the most significant key performance indicators that affect construction projects in the Congo, and to classify them using the relative importance index (RII). The most important factors affecting Congolese construction projects were design, client management, contractor productivity, scheduling, and the contract. The experience and skill of the design team were found to affect the design-related factors, whereas delayed payments and delivery of the construction site to the contractor were found to be the most important factors affecting client/owner-related factors. Client and management factors shared an equal average significant value of 0.68, while the productivity scheduling and contract related factors for the contractor shared an equal average value of 0.67. Finally, this work makes some recommendations to the Congolese construction industry in order to ensure proper project performance and successful projects.

12 .影响刚果民主共和国建设项目绩效的因素研究

刚果建筑业在处理影响施工过程正常进行的各种因素方面面临许多困难。选择影响刚果建设绩效的几个关键指标(因素)进行研究和讨论。本研究旨在确定和评估影响刚果建设项目的最重要的关键绩效指标，并使用相对重要性指数(RII)对其进行分类。影响刚果建筑项目的最重要因素是设计、客户管理、承包商生产力、进度安排和合同。设计团队的经验和技能影响设计相关因素，而延迟付款和向承包商交付施工场地是影响客户/业主相关因素的最重要因素。客户和管理因素的平均显著值为0.68，而承包商的生产力调度和合同相关因素的平均显著值为0.67。最后，本工作对刚果建筑业提出了一些建议，以确保适当的项目绩效和成功的项目。
