Identificación y análisis de los modelos y factores de riesgo que afectan al desempeño de una obra

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the main important industries in a nation due to its high economic impact. Yet, this industry is continuously at risk of encountering vast losses in time, cost and quality of a delivered project. Thus, to mitigate these losses, it is vital to explore the risk factors contributing at those. Various political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal risk factors tend to affect the performance of the construction work. Thus, this paper aims to explore statistical tools and analytical approaches to identify, classify, and analyze the common risk factors that contribute to cost overrun, time overrun, and poor quality outcome. Through a systematic literature review, the main variables are abstracted and studied carefully. The variables are divided into several groups subject to their nature. Regarding the statistical tools, a meta-analysis is used to compare and analyze the different approaches used to assess the risk factors obtained from the articles. As a result, from the systematic literature review and the meta-analysis, this paper identifies the most relevant risk factors affecting the success of a construction work and the most appropriate statistical approaches.
