dc.description.abstractThe study aimed at exploring the success factors in achieving value for money in urban roads construction in Ghana. Three (3) objectives were established to identify the significant barriers inherent in achieving value for money in urban roads, to identify the success factors towards value for money and to identify the project management techniques that can be adopted by project managers to improve value for money in urban road construction in Ghana. Literature review was conducted on the objectives to identify relating variable to aid in the development of an instrument for the research. A closed-ended questionnaire was employed in eliciting responses from respondents in the Urban Roads Department. Forty (40) questionnaires were administered to qualified participants. The data collected was analysed using SPSS version 25. From the analysis, it was realized that, poor contract administration, lack of inexperienced and incompetent contractors\consultants were significant barriers to achieving value for money in urban road construction. Extensive stakeholder’s engagement, and project management techniques including quality management and time management were significant in achieving value for money in urban constructions. It was therefore recommended that government should introduce value for money practices in urban road construction projects. The study explores a relatively new area and consequently serves as the basis to spur future research.en_US
