Abstract

This research investigates stakeholder engagement in the Keenjhar Lake Water Project, a construction project facing challenges like delays.  Employing a mixed-methods approach with surveys and interviews, the study identifies critical stakeholders and analyzes their preferred engagement methods.  The findings suggest that 'interviews' are the most effective approach, followed by workshops and collaborative meetings.  Despite project delays caused by natural disasters, scope changes, and financial limitations, stakeholder perceptions reveal a successful project outcome.  This highlights the importance of effective stakeholder engagement in construction project management, fostering solid relationships, and informing successful project strategies.
