Evaluation of Management Indicators in Projects

This research study provides a methodology for calculating management indicators in construction of projects; and compares the results obtained. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the management indicators for construction projects based on the opinions of practitioners of the projects. As a case study, 22 expert authorities of the construction projects of Shiraz University have been asked about the indicators, using a questionnaire that was arranged. The responses were classified in two categories; 1) Consultants and Contractors (C & and 2) Managers and Experts (M&E). The completed questionnaires were assessed, analyzed and the indicators were calculated separately; based on the ideas of both groups. It is found that there is a similarity between the ideas of the two groups in 25 indicators out of 38. Furthermore, the difference between twelve other indicators based on both group's ideas is small. It means that in the evaluation of 37 indicators out of 38, the ideas of both groups are similar or close to each other; which may show the accuracy in completing the questionnaire and the methodology used. In this paper, this methodology is presented; and the results are discussed.
