The construction industry has made significant contribution to the economy of many developing countries. However, many scholars agree that the potential of the industry still remains untapped.

The inability to complete projects on time and within budget continues to be a chronic problem worldwide and is worsening. Overruns on construction projects are a universal phenomenon; even so, it is more severe in developing countries like Kenya.
