Received 04 February 2020; Accepted 03 June 2020 Abstract It has found that the construction sector of Pakistan is growing fast due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor but history shows that construction projects never achieves its targets. The literature revealed the major hurdles behind the construction is supply chain issues. Supply chain of construction is deficient due to lack of collaboration and integration. The aim of this study is the empirically verify the role of supply chain collaboration (information sharing, Joint decision making, and risk and reward sharing) and supply chain integration (supplier integration, internal integration, and customer integration) with performance. This is a quantitative study, a total of 350 questionnaires were distributed to registered construction firms with Pakistan Engineering Council and 221 were received and considered for analysis after purification, validity and reliability. Multiple-regression technique was applied through SPSS. This study has unique findings as all integration approaches have significant effects while collaboration is not working for the same industry. This proves that members of supply chain construction can get benefit from integration but they hesitate to share their risks, rewards, and planning to all stakeholders. This study will help managers in decision making. This study will also help the government of Pakistan and China in completing their construction projects in time and with the designated cost. Keywords: Construction Industry; Supply Chain Collaboration; Supply Chain Performance; Supply Chain Integration. 1. Introduction The progress of any country lies in the success of its Development plans. As per proverb in French” when the construction industry grow everything flourish”. A lot of money can be saved by completing the project in planned time and duration which indicates the efficiency and effectiveness of project management, though this case happen rarely. Delay in construction can be defined as taking the additional time than the actual planned schedule. These delays always prove to be probable factor of risk and many studies are looking out ways to manage these risks. Cost risks are the main risks associated with delay in projects. Project delays usually result in the increase in the plan cost. The probability of delay is most common problem and it affects significantly through huge ways. Completing the project timely is pointer of proficient construction industry. The competence of the project organization and assessment of project performance is measured by construction time taking it as bench mark. In order to avoid the delay and minimize them, it is necessary to identify and analyze the tangible causes of delay. The most regular is trouble of construction project is delay [1]. The delay in construction project is not only limited to Pakistan however it is a worldwide reality and all the countries faced this global fact. Project management and supply chain collaboration play vital role in the management of any project by using different tools, procedure and techniques and techniques. * Corresponding author: msaeed.shahbaz@gmail.com http://dx.doi.org/10.28991/cej-2020-03091549 © 2020 by the authors.
