| Abstract | Provided the government will maintain political stability, peace and consistent policies, the construction industry in Pakistan is expected to boom in the forthcoming years due to economic reform. However, at present, the needed information is very limited and there is not yet a thorough and systematic investigation of the industry. This thesis reports and evaluates the past development of the Pakistan construction industry and the analysis of components affecting the industry; the clients, contractors, suppliers, resources, and other stakeholders. The current organisational structure of the industry is very complicated. Government policies have changed several times in the past. This thesis also presents the educational system in Pakistan with a view of understanding how construction professionals and workers are prepared for the construction industry Based on the evaluated information, the industry has many opportunities for development. Therefore, a strategy framework to develop the industry is proposed. It includes proposed strategies for development of public and private sectors, financial management, development of government policies, development of education system for construction professionals and other strategies. The strategy suggested that government institutions should be developmental rather than regulatory, they must be stronger than individuals and should inspire confidence. |
