| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to explore the pathogens and antidotes in relation to construction projects ongoing at the local assembly level of Ghana. The pathogens refer to the problems faced construction projects while antidotes refer to solutions to these identified problems in project construction. In order to achieve this aim the study set out some specific objectives. They include; to explore the challenges faced during the construction of social amenities in local assemblies, to ascertain the most significant challenge affecting success in project completion and to assess the most appropriate solutions needed to curb these challenges in construction projects. The quantitative approach to research was used with the help of descriptive design. The data gathering was conducted with the help of structured questionnaires with specific sections tailored to the objectives of the study. The simple random sampling technique as well as the convenience sampling techniques were used to obtain 54 respondents from specific departments of six (6) local assemblies in Greater Accra region. After about few weeks of data gathering the response rate was more than 95% which provides some level of confidence in the data obtained. After data was gathered IBM SPSS (version 23) was used to deduce the right analysis for the specific objectives outlined. The results obtained showed that there are health and safety pathogens as well as financial constraints faced during the construction of social amenities in local assemblies. The study also reveals that health or safety issue is the most significant challenge affecting success in project completion at the local assembly level. The study concludes that the most appropriate antidote is standby health units mounted at construction sites to promptly deal with health challenges during construction projects at the local level. The study recommends that mandatory check-up policy should be instituted so that staff in the project management sector are well looked after so that they are able to provide quality projects. | en_US |
