Abstract

The management of building development and construction processes in various environments is not similar because of the magnitude, functions, location, materials used, cost and of course use of the building. Similarly, building processes depend on the magnitude of financial involvement, the management of the building process, architecture, construction processes and environmental factors associated with location, politics, economics and culture. Provides a background to and outlines the problems of a building process in which the two authors have participated. Addresses the roles of management/organization/client, the building management committee and donor agency in the management of the building process and evaluates the overall achievement of the construction objectives. Observes that the client should be involved in the construction process at all stages and levels to monitor progress and that any consultancy appointment should involve experts familiar with the construction environment and should include a local consultant. It is equally important to equip the project manager with the necessary knowledge and resources to facilitate a resourceful contribution to the project. Suggests that the information in this paper may interest those involved with similar projects elsewhere.
