A questionnaire survey was conducted and a total of sixty five critical factors were identified and categorized into eight groups. This study aims to identify and evaluate key risk factors and their frequency and severity and then their impact in different types of construction projects in India. The construction industry is widely associated with a high risk and uncertainty due to the nature of its operating environment. Inventory management is the best suited example for cash flow management in a construction project. The survey also shows that the major sources of capital are the credit, the company assets, the advance payment and the progress payment. The survey showed that in construction industry, material management plays an important role in cash flow management followed by procurement and inventory. The results of the questionnaire indicated that the majority of the contractors who encountered failures in their annual project contracts, attributable to poor cash flow management and forecasting, are those contractors who did not perform cash flow analysis prior to submitting bids for projects. A total 56 responses is collected from contractors and desired results are obtained and conclusions are made. A questionnaire is prepared to identify the most affecting factors.
