  • ABSTRACT

    The construction industry has been characterized by improper quality control, inadequate planning and project abandonment. It is important to understand the benefits of quality control identify and reinforce good practice, to achieve this questionnaire was designed and distributed oral interview were made together with literature review.

    It has been noted that quality control is averagely adhere to in most construction sites, the use of quacks instead of professional and inadequate supervision has been the major problems inherent in the construction industry today in our country.

    Government should make it mandatory that buildings carry certificate of fitness for human habitation. Procurement method in use should be amended to allow professional builders to be more actively involved in the project from the planning, design and construction stages to ensure the build-ability and maintainability of the project.



    Quality Control as an Effective Tool for Efficient Project Delivery (A Case Study of Imo State)


    1.0 Introduction

    1.1 Background of the Study

    This research works deals on harnessing the intricacies of effective quality control of a project towards achieving a meaningful and more efficient project delivery. However, this work is out rightly concerned with the examination of certain managerial tools and techniques that are quite necessary in devising how to coordinate all of the activities that go on in a given project; developing a realistic schedule, controlling and monitoring the progress of the entire given project. It is also written to improve the standard of services provided to the client and beneficiaries through the implementation of quality control into the project.

    However, quality control costs can be reduced by the inspection of variables in the production process; these include the raw-materials, materials that go into the production processes, work in progress and the machinery used.


    1.2 Statement of the Problems

    Lack of adequate planning and supervision have posed many critical problems to the construction, manufacturing industry and other works of life, which has resulted into incessant project delivery which is becoming very predominant in our country Nigeria. Meanwhile from the research carried out on this context the following problems were identified and stated below:

    a) Improper assessment of tender documents

    b) Poor resource allocation

    c) Poor material selection

    d) The inability of the project team to adhere to standard.

    e) Lack of training of personnel

    f) Improper planning, schedule and activity definition

    g) Improper record keeping and documentation

    h) Ineffective leadership and control


    1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study

    The thesis is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the benefits of quality control, identify and reinforce good practice.

    d) Influence of government policy on execution of project.

    e) Project monitoring and controlling.

    f) Causes of unsatisfactory project delivery

    g) Importance of effective planning and supervision


    1.4 Significance of the Study
