Abstract:
A construction project could be completed within the budgeted cost; time frame; quality expected, and, even satisfied the stakeholders' implied needs with lots of resources wastage, thus, an accomplishment of the predetermined project objectives do not signify that the project is successful in utilisation of resources optimally. To achieve optimal construction resources utilisation and
minimisation of resources wastefulness, in addition to other factors;
there is a need to assess how the site manager’s achieve the project concepts
in relation to the resources utilisation, which this study evaluated.
This research was conducted in the UK and mixed method research approach
was adopted by exploring quantitative questionnaire and qualitative
interview surveys’ methods for obtaining data. The paper establishes
factors that are under accomplished by the site manager and which
require improvement towards optimal resources utilisation. Among the
facts deduced are the needs for e¦ective management of time and cost
saving contrasts; implementation of prefabrication, modular construction
systems; and adequate planning before project commences. The
findings report in this paper will not only enhance the site managers efficient
performance during construction production process, but will also
improve resources utilisation and stakeholders’ satisfaction.
