| Abstract | Globally construction companies are entering in an era of internationalization. This brings a need of developing and defining strategies to cope with the international demands of quality, risk and profit. Different models related to the international construction have been studied in context with the following issues. Globalization and construction industry development Characteristics of internationalization Risks or Obstacles associated with international Construction business Competitive advantage and strategies for international construction business International construction projects have many risks involved due to the nature of their structure. There are more parties involved and more phases are present in international construction projects than a conventional construction project. Each party has its different objectives. This difference in the objectives of parties leads to conflict of interest which is a root cause of risks in international construction projects. An international construction adaption model has been developed in this research. This model had been applied on Pakistan construction industry to know the practical example of internationalization. The risks factors which influence the international construction business in Pakistan have been identified and then classified on country, construction industry and project bases. Some critical problems related to international construction projects have been indicated from these identified risks. Some recommendations have also been suggested to manage the critical risk for the success of international projects and development of international construction industry of Pakistan |
