Abstract

A great deal of focus has been placed by different governments on their construction industries as it is known for being a large polluter of the planet, as well as being a huge consumer of energy and emitter of carbon. The research was completed by investigating major PPP themes related to UK (namely, challenges to UK construction, operational performance of PPP projects, and drivers of PPP projects). To ensure enough participants were reached, the snowball sampling technique was used to collect data from 156 industrial professionals. Relative importance index (RII) analysis was performed to check the ranking of the factors, and to determine the significance of each factor. This analysis revealed a large significance on time and cost management issues within the challenges to UK construction section. Sustainability presented highly significant results relating to modern methods of construction like BIM as well as the use of modern schemes such as the PF2 (Private Finance 2) scheme. This was also found to be an important factor in the operational performance of PPP projects as well as resolving financial and fiscal issues within the public sector. This research can support public and private sectors to develop advanced collaborative networks to boost productivity.
