Mass housing projects (MHPs) are said to differ significantly from the ââ?¬Å?one-offââ?¬Â traditional building projects often encountered\nin the construction industry and thus require unique management skills and approach in MHPs delivery. This unique nature of\nMHPs contributes to managerial inefficiencies that result in delivery failures when management approaches are not adapted to the\nproject characteristics. However, understanding and knowledge of the unique attributes of MHPs are critical towards improving\nthe organisation, planning, managerial effectiveness, and delivery success of mass housing projects. To date, extensive studies\nestablishing the unique features of mass housing projects are lacking. This study is set out to identify what constitutes the unique\nfeatures of mass housing projects by comparing mass housing projects to traditional ââ?¬Å?one-offââ?¬Â building projects. A questionnaire\nsurvey was used to establish mass housing practitionersââ?¬â?¢ perception of the unique characteristics of MHPs. Data analysis involving\nmean scores and ANOVA revealed 10 unique features of MHP. A clear and systematic understanding of these unique features\nof MHPs is crucial for evolving effective project management practices and critical competencies towards successful delivery of\ncurrent and future MHPs.
