Focusing on operational cost-containment models, this study tests administrative mechanisms designed to control total expenditure parameters for lower-income housing programs across Sana’a, Yemen. By detailing value-engineering steps, waste reduction strategies, and transparent material procurement systems, the paper develops an integrated baseline model for civic authorities to build more spaces with restricted public budgets.
This empirical study investigates the critical factors causing schedule delays in public and private construction projects across Sana’a, Yemen. Through statistical analysis of questionnaire responses gathered from project managers and engineers, the research ranks delays stemming from resource shortages, political shocks, late contractor payments, and flawed design variations. The paper highlights key strategic interventions to strengthen project oversight and risk management.
Addressing the compounding housing crisis in Yemen, this study develops an affordable, culturally responsive, and sustainable residential design framework tailored for low-income populations in Sana’a. The design incorporates local building materials, passive climate control techniques, and efficient space utilization concepts. The proposed model offers urban planners and policy-makers a scalable paradigm to alleviate housing stress while preserving the distinct architectural identity of Sana’a.
