Tiivistelmä
The construction industry is faced with underlying and visible challenges throughout all the phases of construction leading to several deficiencies. Since the challenges in the industry are constantly occurring throughout fiscal duration, the need to put in measures towards achieving successful site management through measures in the construction industry is essential. With this, the primary aim of this research project is to examine the practices of construction site management by means of an integration of best site management practices for adoption into the Nigerian construction industry with the focus on efficiency through international best practices.
The literature review on site management and related construction practices were undertaken at fist. This strictly followed the four case studies incorporated into the research and interpreted with SWOT analysis to bring profound understanding of the concept of the literatures highlighted into the research work. The case studies used were directed to help in examining practices that are functional in other construction industries and to be implemented into Nigeria’s construction industry.
It is concluded that relevant stakeholders in the Nigerian construction industry should be familiar with site management practices early in construction which would help to avoid unnecessary errors that could be avoided in construction. It also expressed that construction professionals in Nigerian construction industry should restrict construction functions to qualified construction professional to handle proceedings related to respective disciplinary problems faced during the construction. The service of a site manager employed would go a long way in maximising materials and other inputs concerned with the construction in order to have an effective construction and solve problems related to a project; and management of the problems. Also, putting in place necessary perceptions and techniques that will be useful to aid site management practice in the country’s construction industry will put measures to standard expected in construction through practices expected from the onset to completion of projects.
