CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: SOME ISSUES IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT by Onum Friday Okoh, Emmanuel Adikwu Ukpoju, Adah Otakwu, Victoria Bukky Ayoola, Lawrence Anebi Enyejo

“…Construction management is a complex and multifaceted discipline that plays a pivotal role in the successful execution of construction projects; despite advancements in technology and project management methodologies, construction projects continue to face a range of common issues that can significantly impact timelines, budgets, and overall project outcomes; this paper provides an in-depth review of the most prevalent challenges encountered in construction management, with a focus on identifying the root causes and proposing practical solutions; key issues explored in this review include delays in project timelines, cost overruns, quality control deficiencies, labor shortages, and communication breakdowns among stakeholders; delays, often resulting from unforeseen site conditions, regulatory approvals, and supply chain disruptions, are analyzed in detail, highlighting their cascading effects on project costs and schedules; the paper also examines the persistent problem of cost overruns, delving into factors such as inaccurate initial estimates, scope changes, and the underestimation of risks; quality control is another critical issue discussed, with a focus on how lapses in adherence to standards and specifications can lead to costly rework and long-term performance issues; the review also addresses the challenge of labor shortages, which have become increasingly prevalent due to demographic shifts and changing industry dynamics, impacting productivity and project delivery; furthermore, the paper explores how communication breakdowns between stakeholders, including contractors, subcontractors, and clients, can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and delays, ultimately affecting the project’s success; by synthesizing insights from a broad range of case studies and industry reports, this paper not only identifies the most common issues in construction management but also offers evidence-based strategies to mitigate these challenges; emphasizing the importance of proactive planning, robust risk management, and effective communication, this review aims to provide construction professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of modern construction projects successfully; the findings underscore the critical role of continuous improvement in construction management practices to enhance project outcomes and ensure the long-term viability of the construction industry.…”
