Detectar errores más comunes que generan desviación de costos iniciales versus finales en obras civiles del sector público educativo en contratos liquidados en el departamento de Nariño durante el periodo 2016 – 2022

Abstract

Cost and schedule deviation in civil works is a constant concern, mainly in projects managed by public entities. This problem can be attributed to a number of factors, including changes in the project scope, unforeseen conditions at the construction site, fluctuations in material and labor costs, among others. The consequences of these deviations can be significant, such as an increase in the total project budget, delays in project completion, and negatively affecting client and stakeholder satisfaction. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of this degree work is to identify and analyze the most frequent errors that cause deviations in costs and deadlines of construction projects in the education sector, which have been executed in the department of Nariño during the period 2016 to 2022, with the purpose of understanding the issues that lead to the difficulty in the execution of the works according to plan and thus effectively address the challenges that have negatively impacted the execution of such works. The research approach used to achieve the proposed objectives is based on a qualitative perspective with an interpretive understanding approach supported by a descriptive statistical analysis of the data collected from the contracts published in SECOP I of the department of Nariño in the period 2016 – 2022.
