| dc.description.abstract | A case study research was conducted to develop a technique to monitor investment performance in the construction industry, due to the short fall of the existing techniques to detect high price, high budget, and cost inflated projects. The study follows a pragmatic research philosophy approach to allow the positivist and interpretivism mixed method strategy for quantitative and qualitative analysis for deduction and induction development of a technique to monitor investment performance to ensure value for money. The primary and secondary data was in need where a questionnaire was used to collect primary data and our lady of grace senior high school physical infrastructural projects was used as a secondary data. The first objective was to search for techniques available in the literature to avoid duplication of theories; the respondent accepted thirtyseven theories as techniques. The second objective was to identify the components of value for money on the pricing of physical infrastructure projects and minor components was identified under the three major components, economic, efficiency and effectiveness. Third objective was to identify what goes into market value and earned value when monitoring the cost performance and eleven variables identified. Finally, a technique for monitoring investment performance (FT-MIP) was developed and tested, based on the policy documents of Our Lady of Grace Senior High School infrastructural projects. The technique (FT-MIP) is used to one; determine value for money in physical infrastructural projects. Two, identify high price, high budget, cost inflated projects. Finally, it is used to determine performance of a physical infrastructural investment. In conclusion, FT-MIP follows three steps; the FIT-MIP framework, testing, and validation. The researcher recommend: first, the investors in the construction industry are encouraged to use the technique to monitor their investment, to guarantee total value for money on all their investments. Second, call for further studies to identify the strength and weakness in the application of frank technique for monitoring investment performance (FT-MIP). | en_US |
