Abstract : The implementation of construction activities in the island region of Tojo Una-Una Regency tends to be very vulnerable to the risk of delays, even failure, due to obstacles experienced by implementing parties in the field. The aim of this research is to find out the factors that hinder construction work in the island region of Tojo Una-Una Regency and to find out the efforts made by implementing parties to overcome these obstacles. This factor is the biggest factor hampering construction work in the island region of Tojo Una-Una Regency compared to other factors. Efforts made to overcome these obstacles include implementing human resource management for construction workers properly, building a collaborative network with a number of construction material suppliers, acting decisively against owners who are late in making payments, improving the coordination system between contractors and owners, carrying out modernization and regular maintenance of equipment. construction, establishing good communication with the environment around the project, conducting in-depth studies and handling soil stability problems at the project site, and scheduling visits and sending resources to the project site appropriately.
