A questionnaire survey was conducted and 83 factors were identified, categorized into 8 groups, evaluated and ranked from contractors and subcontractors perspectives. 135 questionnaires were distributed as follows: 90 to contractors and 45 to subcontractors. 113 questionnaires were received (83.7%) as follows: 81 (90%) from contractors and 32 (71%) from subcontractors.
