| Abstract | A large number of inadequate decent and affordable houses influence governments in the developing world to adopt Public-Private Partnership (PPP) method in order to achieve the large scale of production. However, most governments failed to deliver PPP low-cost housing (LCH) projects/programs with livable environment to low-income groups (LIGs). This included the Royal Thai government designating the National Housing Authority (NHA) to be the responsible agency and introducing the PPP method (called “tumkey”) to deliver the PPP LCH program (known as “Bann Ua Arthom" or “we care”). The program was introduced in 2003 and the program target was approximately 600,000 units within five years. Nevertheless, in 2009, the program target was finally reduced to 281,556 units. Most contractors lost, while some contractors went bankrupt or under prosecution. The NHA also faced a huge burden of liability of approximately 60,000,000,000 THB ($1,978,000,000 USD). What kinds of risks caused the program failure and how only few successful contractors achieved the standard of construction performance were then considered to study. Therefore, the aims of this study are to explore and gain insight into critical failure factors (CFFs), and critical success factors (CSFs). To accomplish the research objectives, risks, lessons learned, and best practice were gained through grounded theory (GT) methodology and quantitative approach. The results presented 13 factors of CF category and 2 factors of CSF group, which lie in the program and project development process. Some CFFs resulted from the ineffective PPP policy and strategy, while some were beyond the control of the project/program management team. These CFFs were inter-lintra-related to one another in a particular way. On the other hand, some CSFs influenced the standard approach of program execution. Meanwhile, some CSFs were possessed by the private firms. The existence of CSFs in a particular phase of the project life cycle considerably contributed to and was vital for the project success. As a result, the public sector’s program/project execution plan was presented in order to improve the project development process. The public client’s and private finns’ effective risk management framework and process were constructed and proposed in order to provide deeper insight into risk management in the PPP LCH project management. The program/project execution plan and risk management framework were the research recommendations. |
