This study evaluates construction contractors' project management maturity levels, examining various factors such as ISO certification, capacity building programs, contractor type (road vs. building), and specific knowledge areas. Data was gathered through surveys and assessments to evaluate the maturity of different processes and practices. The findings reveal various maturity levels across the industry, with significant variations among contractors. Common challenges include gaps in risk management, safety protocols, and overall project management practices. Factors such as ISO certification and capacity-building programs positively impacted maturity levels. However, targeted training and education are crucial for addressing specific knowledge gaps. The analysis identifies critical recommendations for improving project management maturity in the construction industry, including fostering a culture of continuous improvement, promoting knowledge sharing, implementing tailored training programs, and developing industry-specific standards. By addressing these challenges and implementing appropriate strategies, the construction industry can enhance project outcomes, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness.
