Abstract
This study investigates the influence of project delivery methods on critical performance indicators, such as time, cost, site disputes, and quality, when executing court-building projects in Kenya. The study hypothesized that project delivery methods have no significant influence on the execution of court-building projects in relation to time, cost, site-dispute and quality. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's Alpha technique, and validity was tested using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This study combined the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data using a mixed-methods approach. Sixty-three projects were surveyed using a convergent parallel mixed survey design. Document analysis was used to obtain secondary data, and questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect the primary data. Descriptive statistics, such as mode, mean, and standard deviation, were used to analyse the quantitative data, while correlation and regression analysis techniques were used for inferential statistical analysis. The slope coefficients were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05. Thematic and document analyses were applied to the qualitative data to triangulate the findings with the quantitative data. According to the study, project delivery methods significantly influenced the execution of construction projects in terms of quality, cost, and site disputes, but not time. The study also emphasizes how the Kenyan judiciary needs flexible and context-specific project delivery approaches because those that were employed did not address timeliness, a crucial delivery factor. This research offers helpful information to scholars, practitioners of project and construction management, policymakers, and other parties involved in putting the Kenyan judiciary's infrastructure into place.
