Corruption in the Construction Industry: Comparison of survey results in Croatia and the United Kingdom

Numerous studies of corruption perception around the world have shown that corruption in the construction industry is more prominent than in other industries. A Croatian survey concerning corruption in the construction industry was conducted following the design and methodology of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in the United Kingdom. The respondents were professionals from different geographic areas in Croatia. A total of 107 respondents were involved in the survey. The main findings are presented together with a comparison between the UK and Croatia. In spite of many differences between the two countries, the survey results are quite similar. According to results all stages of construction process are subject to corruption, but the pre-qualification and tendering phase is the most at risk. The respondents from both countries believe that their professional organisations concerned with construction and governments are not doing enough to supress corruption in the construction industry. The paper concludes with discussion of anti-corruption measures and approaches.
