Abstract: | Against the background of the perennial management challenges facing the Ghanaian House
Building Industry, project management practices in the implementation of Mass House Building
Projects (MHBPs) is presented with a view to reflecting on their strength and weaknesses. The
role of project managers (PMs) and their performance on these projects are reviewed including
how they have helped or met project objectives especially in terms of completion dates and cost.
The evidence gathered suggests that, professional project management services, emanating from
project inception to completion can potentially help in minimizing the effects of some of the key
managerial challenges. It is suggested that, all other things being equal, some characteristics of
the professional project management services could be adopted and embodied into a framework
within which current management practices can be advanced for improving effective delivery of
future housing projects. |
