Abstract

Public project nonperformance in many developing nations including Ethiopia from different dimensions is obvious these days. For these different economic constraints, different industry related complications and higher rate of population growth mentioned as a cause. Specifically the provision of affordable housing for all classes of the society is very difficult scenario that the government is facing right now. The integrated saving housing development project in different parts of Addis Ababa city faces many different challenges due to many reasons and among those reasons implementation and interpretation of the project delivery method has its own negative impact. Having this background the study sets a general objective to assess overall impacts of the contract delivery method adopted for those mass housing projects in Addis Ababa city. The general objective addressed through three specific objectives aimed at assessing the delivery method’s; overall practice, advantages and disadvantages, its overall effectiveness and to specify the best delivery approach in the study area. Accordingly available literatures related with the topic were reviewed under the second chapter. A descriptive and exploratory research design preferred to address the different research objectives and a mixed research instrumentation and analysis technique implemented. Using those techniques the different findings from the questionnaire, interview and document analysis discussed accordingly. The finding from the analysis showed that Design-Bid-Build approach implemented in all sites housing projects for the different blocks characterized to be very customary, very fragmented and traditional which alters the ideal advantages of the system into disadvantages. Also the finding revealed that the Design-Bid-Build approach causes nonperformance of the project and affected the time constraints followed by risk and cost management of the project. Proper implementation and characterization and/or adaptation of the system will fits best the different policies and strategies by Minister of Urban Development and Housing. Finally significance of the study includes administrative, professional, academic and strategic assistance for the different concerned bodies in the construction industry.
