| dc.description.abstract | The construction industry is a major sector that provides key contribution in the development of a country‟s economy. Unfortunately, a lots of hold ups are encountered when projects are being carried resulting in exceeding the estimated time of completion and the cost of carrying out the project. Regardless of the much-gained knowledge in Project Management, delays and cost overrun are intrinsic part of most projects. Data was collected from various construction sites in four regions of Ghana to assess the effects of quality control measures on project duration by examining key indicators such as the types of quality control policies, workers‟ response to its implementation, involvement of management and project team members in implementing them and the awareness of basic quality measures in construction sites. This study has brought to light that most workers are not aware of quality control measures before the commence of construction project. This makes it difficult and tedious for project team members, management and stakeholders to implementation quality control measures in their various construction sites. This research has also revealed that quality control has a contributing effect factor of less than or at most 10% of the total delay in construction project schedule. In the cause of identifying an issue from the implementation of the quality control measures, team members on the other hand do not report to the quality control team who are expert in dealing with the quality control measures. Moreover, workers are not knowledgeable about the effect of environmental control on the success of construction project. | en_US |
