Project Agility for Construction Project Success in UAE

The UAE construction industry is a cornerstone of the nation’s rapid economic growth and infrastructural development. However, this sector faces multifaceted challenges, including project delays, cost overruns, and evolving client expectations. Project agility has emerged as a vital framework to enhance the adaptability and resilience of construction projects, allowing project teams to respond efficiently to unforeseen circumstances. This study aims to investigate the role of project agility in the success of construction projects in the UAE, analyzing how key factors such as risk management, stakeholder collaboration, technological integration, and organizational culture interact to foster an agile project environment. Through this research, we propose a comprehensive conceptual model linking project agility to project success metrics like project timeliness, cost efficiency, client satisfaction, and stakeholder engagement. The Research will interview 15 experts giving their opinions and consensus on the conceptual model and formulated hypotheses. The study will provide actionable insights for construction professionals and organizations aiming to improve project performance and deliver superior outcomes in an increasingly dynamic construction landscape.
