The study presents the sources of the barriers in
management of refurbishment projects that may cause
delays and escalate costs. To achieve the study objectives,
the information was acquired through personal interviews
and in-depth discussions with the architects and
contractors of the seven refurbishment projects selected in
eastern province of Saudi Arabia. It addresses issues often
overlooked by the management team in a refurbishment
project during the design, document preparation, and
construction stages. The twelve most important sources of
barriers were the degradation of undamaged materials
over time, formidable variations to original structure,
salvaged materials, conflict between responsibilities and
liabilities, missing design information, illogical imposed
conditions, selecting contract types, improper site survey,
concurrent operation by owners, selection of contractor,
escalated costs and delays during refurbishment, and
underpayment for architect’s services were revealed from
the in-depth interviews and discussion with the architects
and the contractors of the refurbishment projects. Reasons
for these problems of management are reviewed with
emphasis on the role of the architect in avoiding
underestimation of required work during the stages of the
project. Recommendations are given to minimize
ambiguities in the scope of the work and avoid disputes
among the parties to the contract. This can be achieved by
employing an experienced architect and by making sound
prompt decisions through out the project lifecycle.
