  • The Challenges of Quantifying Construction Works for Project Control in Ghana
    3134 CIB World Building Congress 2007 CIB2007-348 The Challenges of Quantifying Construction Works for Project Control in Ghana Gabriel Nani1 and Theophilus Adjei-Kumi2 1 and 2 Building Technology Department, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi ABSTRACT Project control is undertaken throughout a construction process and it involves planning, monitoring, comparing actual with planned and taking actions. The three major areas of control in construction are ‘cost control’, ‘Quality control’ and ‘Schedule or progress control’. In all planning/ setting target and monitoring, work quantity information is used within the control mechanism to provide vital information. The paper therefore identifies the challenges of accurately quantifying construction work and organising the quantified information for control processes in Ghana. A structured questionnaire was administered to Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers on phone (not a common research practice in Ghana) to rate pre-identified challenges quantity surveyor face in quantification of construction work. Poor quality of drawings, limited time to carryout measurement, lack of adequate quantification skills, poor specification, poor remuneration, difficulty in interpretation of standard method of measurement, and difficulty in measuring work on site in that order were identified as the major challenges to quantification in Ghana. The major impact of these challenges is on cost control of project which is vital to developing countries. Keywords: Quantification, Challenges, Project, Control 1. INTRODUCTION Quantities of construction work are used for several purposes in construction. Pickens and Jaggar (2005) who are Quantity Surveyors described ‘measurement (quantification) as ‘a process concerned with converting construction drawings into words and numbers in accordance CIB World Building Congress 2007 3135 with a strict set of rules.
