    (Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2023-06) Emereibe, Seth Chibuzo
    In this study we were able to investigate the factors militating against successful delivery of building construction projects in Imo State, with these we determined the level of correlation between these factors and building construction projects delivery, however survey design was deployed on a cross section of the five factors as determined. These included the following (i) Cost of securing government approval (ii) imposed development fees (iii) government policies (iv) price fluctuation and (v) funding gap. Primary data was collected from stakeholders in the construction subsector through the use of a well-structured questionnaire. 157 copies of questionnaire were distributed while 113 copies were returned. Multiple Regression Analysis technique was used after data collection. Upon the analysis, the study revealed a significant correlation between building construction project delivery (with cost and schedule criteria as proxies) and the identified factors (with Funding gap (X1: 0.393), Cost of securing government approval (X2: 0.340), Imposed development fees (X3: 0.283)Government policies (X4: 0.458), Price fluctuation (X5: 0.464) as proxies). In line with findings from the study, it was concluded that these factors were significant for the successful delivery of building construction projects in Imo State. In conclusion, the study recommends that for there to be effective building construction project delivery in Imo State, adequate efforts should be made to reduce the influence on price fluctuation of building materials.
