- W108972118 abstract "The problems faced when managing projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are investigated and strategies to overcome the problems and improve project performance are recommended. The survey research design was adopted. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire. Data were collected via interviews with experienced personnel who have worked in the UAE construction industry. It was found that a high proportion of projects in the UAE experienced budget and schedule overruns. The findings show several unique challenges exist in managing projects in the UAE. The first is when foreign consultants fail to consider differences of language, culture, religion, customs and preferences, and this lead to disharmony and resentment. The second challenge is project-related issues such as contract documentation, technical details of construction, materials delivery and document approval and permits are not well-planned nor subject to rigorous risk analysis prior to project commencement. Finally, environment-related issues faced are extreme weather conditions which pose a challenge to foreign staff. It is recommended that foreign firms build closer relationships with clients and local authorities to establish trust that would help in a smoother process in obtaining approvals and resolving disputes. It is necessary to employ more foreign labour during Ramadan to compensate for the lower productivity on site due to fatigue and shorter working time. Protective measures must be taken to shield labourers from the intense heat and ultraviolet radiation. Cold water points and salt pills to replenish fluids lost through perspiration should be provided." @default.
