Abstract

Since 2003, the building sector in Iraq has undergone a large amount of development, and the region's commercial linkages with the countries of other regions have undergone a substantial amount of advancement. Because Iraq was closed during this period, it needed a lot of investment for development projects. In addition, because major sections of Iraq are stable, foreign construction corporations have been focusing on the country.In spite of this, the Iraqi government has made it easier for foreign investment businesses to get involved in the region as part of a plan to acquire international knowledge and foreign technological ability. As a direct consequence of this, a competition environment for both domestic and foreign businesses has been established in the region. As a consequence of this, regional and national construction businesses have been motivated to make significant strides toward enhancing their overall performance within the sector.On the basis of acknowledging the most appropriate achievement measures for construction companies performing in the region and recommending an arrangement by using these measures, The primary objectives of this research are to evaluate and analyses the impediments that impede the implementation of investment construction projects in Iraq.These goals will be accomplished by constructing a framework that will be based on the performance measures. In order to shed light on the aforementioned impediments to investment in the construction industry, this article has been revised to include a variety of viewpoints pertaining to the commercial climate of the construction sector in Iraq.As a consequence of this, a management controlling system that must be utilized as a management oversight system for the purpose of managing and accessing the performance of Iraqi construction companies must be developed as a result of an assessment of the barriers to the implementation of investment construction projects in Iraq management.
