Abstract

Road network is an essential infrastructure to enable efficient logistics and also forms the backbone of social and economic development. However, despite various efforts made by the government to develop the road network and ensure that these projects succeed in a timely manner, delays and cost overruns remain a problem for all road construction projects in many emerging economies. Namibia is no exception. So, it is important to identify critical success factors (CSFs) that need to be addressed for the timely delivery of road construction projects. Hence, adopting a qualitative approach, the aim of this study is to investigate critical success factors (CSFs) for timely delivery of road construction projects. The study recommends that the Roads Authority should engage capable companies, contractors, consultants, promote R&D, and do timely payment to eliminate project delays. The findings also propose that government introduces an alternative funding model for contractors who are awarded contracts.
