Jakarta provincial government (JPG) engage capable contractors, such as government contractors or state-owned contractor enterprises (SOCEs) to ensure the flyover projects be completed on time and achieve the aim of reducing traffic congestion in Jakarta. However, the flyover projects are faced with several challenges that have impact on project performance. Hence, the aim of the research is to investigate the challenges faced by SOCEs in managing the flyover projects and to determine the involvement of quantity surveyors (QS) in the flyover project. Based on literature review, the challenges in managing the flyover project were categorized into six (6) categories. They were management process, money, material, construction method, machinery and manpower. This research used quantitative analysis method to investigate the challenges faced by SOCEs in managing the flyover projects and using qualitative analysis method to determine the involvement of QS in the flyover projects based on data collection by distributing the questionnaire to respondents who had been managing the project. In this study, the projects represented the flyover projects in Jakarta that were constructed since the year of 2010 and the construction of the project were undertaken by SOCEs. Based on to the analysis, the cash flow problem and project near traffic congestion were investigated as the challenges that brought major impact on project performance. In addition, regarding QS in flyover project, QS faced with difficulties to understand the lump sum and design & build contract due to this type of contract is first time applied by JPG on the flyover project since its commencement in 2015. By investigating the challenges in managing the flyover project and enhancing the role of the QSs, it will provide basis for project management team who will manage similar projects in the future to improve project performance. 2015-09 Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/81092/1/LutfiKurniawanMFAB2015.pdf Kurniawan, Lutfi (2015) The challenges faced by government contractors in managing the flyover projects.
