Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Preparedness of the Ghanaian Construction Industry for the Implementation of Building Information Modelling (Bim) . Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwame Oppong-Peprah Jnr Description An account of the resource Building Information Modelling (BIM) has evolved in definitions and concepts over the past three decades to becoming an information technology strategy and productivity tool in the architectural engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Globally, the construction industry is considered one of the largest, with a key feature of bringing together a multidisciplinary group of professionals that usually face great challenges with coordination. In Ghana, the construction industry has experienced these challenges impacting its rate of productivity. The main objective of this work was to assess the preparedness of the Ghanaian construction industry for the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) looking at four key assessments – level of BIM awareness, level of BIM preparedness towards implementation, perceived BIM implementation benefit and lastly, challenges/barriers associated with BIM adoption and implementation. Adopting and using qualitative research methodologies, an online survey was conducted targeting relevant stakeholders in industry and academia. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical analysis to reveal perceptions, ratings/rankings, and frequencies based on categorical and coded Likert-scale data types. The results show that majority of industry players have a conceptual knowledge than of applied knowledge when it comes to the level of awareness of BIM. Generally, the preparedness of Ghana towards the implementation of BIM can be rated as “Pre-BIM Capable”. In essence Ghana is not implementing BIM from the results of the analysis. The analysis also points to the fact that a successful implementation of BIM in Ghana will be extremely beneficial and will impact positively on productivity in the industry. It is highly recommended amongst others that steps should be taken to commission a body of professionals to critically review cost benefits ratios and recommend an action plan that leads to a strategic blueprint for BIM implementation in Ghana. This work was limited by having a number of no responses given to some of the issues and can be attributed to the possible newness in the area of research or field.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing Critical Causes of Cost and Time Overruns In the Ghana Road Construction Projects Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwabena Obeng Kyeremateng Description An account of the resource Construction project cost escalation and delays don’t just occur, they are caused by factors on the part of either the client, consultant, contractor or the external. These factors, when critically assessed, can be eliminated or mitigated. Construction cost and time overruns are very detrimental to all the stake holders involved as it brings loss of revenue, increase in project cost and delays economic development of a nation. This study seeks to identify and assess critical factors that cause time and cost overruns in the Ghana road construction projects from the perspectives of client, consultants and contractors. The researcher administered questionnaires to stakeholders from both government and non-government organizations who were within the Accra Metropolis. Data collected was analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. This study also provides ways to mitigate these factors and improve the productivity of the construction companies. This study was carried out through an extensive review of related cost and time overruns literatures and through a survey study using in-depth questionnaires to elicit the views of respondents who have the knowledge and experience in the field of road construction.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of Lean Implementation in the After Sales Service Of The Air Condition Industry: A Case Study on Cold Temperatures Limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Justice Tagoe Description An account of the resource The need for air condition companies to implement lean in the delivery of services is one that cannot be overlooked. Growth in any industry is linked to satisfaction given to customers of that industry. The key to maintaining a competitive advantage in service delivery can be attributed to the implementation of lean techniques and principles. This study assesses lean implementation in the after sales service of the air condition industry using Cold Temperatures Limited as a case study. This assessment is done by applying lean techniques and principles in the minimization of waste. A brief background of lean principles and techniques by various authors is presented which includes both empirical and theoretical review of the literature. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. Observations were done and questionnaires administered randomly to active customers of Cold Temperatures Limited after calculating the sample size using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Furthermore, data collection was done by walking the shop floor and recording the processing and lead times for service delivery. SPSS and Excel were used to generate tables and charts which helped in analysing data obtained and also identify the wastes within the company. The Pareto chart and cause and effect diagram were also used to analyse the causes of the wastes in Cold Temperatures Limited. The takt time was calculated after drawing the current state of Cold Temperatures Limited with the value stream map. This helped in the determination of the pace of service delivery. A future state map was then drawn indicating the improvement needed areas after which lean technique was applied in the minimization of the wastes identified. In conclusion, the researcher observed the service delivery of Cold Temperatures Limited to be poor due to several factors and therefore recommended the maintenance and delivery preparation departments to be joined together in order to eliminate the waste of motion between these departments.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Impact of Stakeholder Management on Project Implementation in the Telecommunication Industry: A Case Study of Eaton Towers Ghana Limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tuwor Joseph Nartey Description An account of the resource The management of stakeholders in the telecommunication industry has not received much attention in Ghana. The purpose of the study was therefore to explore stakeholder management and its impact on telecommunication mast construction projects in Eaton Towers Company. A sample size of 80 comprising of both internal and external stakeholders of the Eaton Towers Company, was used for the study. The quantitative survey was the most appropriate study design as the researcher gathered varied opinions on the subject matter through the administration of questionnaires. Per the findings of the study, the three most influential internal stakeholders of the project included project management team, top management, and procurement team. Similarly, the most influential external stakeholders included customers, contractors, and government agencies. While the study revealed that stakeholder analysis, stakeholder engagement, stakeholder mapping, communication and reporting plan and stakeholder interest matrix were the internal management strategies used in managing internal stakeholders, stakeholder analysis, stakeholder engagement, stakeholder mapping and communication were the dominant strategies used in the management external stakeholders. Per the results, lack of acceptance of the project and support from relevant parties, ineffective stakeholder identification, and analysis, inadequate stakeholder engagement, poor management of stakeholders, relevant stakeholders were not carried along at the initial stages and finance were the crucial challenges faced in the management of internal stakeholders. On the other hand, key challenges in the management of external stakeholders identified were government agencies prolong bureaucratic processes in the approval and issuance of building permits, contractors not complying to project schedule, supplying of out-of-specification materials and inefficient work procedure. The study, therefore, recommended that internal and external stakeholders have to be involved in programs that would build good and healthy working relationship that drives cooperation towards common goals in achieving successful project implementation.

Title A name given to the resource Challenges in Implementing Total Quality Management (Tqm) In Building Construction Projects Resource Usage: A Case of Regimanuel Gray Limited Buildings Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jones Komla Apedo Description An account of the resource Ensuring Total Quality in the construction industry has been seen as the degree of excellence in meeting customer requirements or specifications. But it is not achieved most of the time mainly due to factors such as the employment of unqualified human resource; lack of compliance to standards, structural defects, deterioration as a result of abandonment of buildings, dampness, cracks, leakages, among others. The main objective of this study is to examine challenges in constructing building projects in the context of Total Quality Management Principles (TQM). The study examined the impact of ensuring compliance to Total Quality Management (TQM) principles by concentrating on four resource factors; Human, financial, equipment and material resources. The study adopted a quantitative method approach and used a survey research design. Research questions were sent out to gather data from respondents. SPSS was used to analyze the data with regards to factors that prohibit compliance of TQM Principles. The study found out that compliance is compromised when there are inadequate materials, lack of motivation and allowance for workers, and lack of advanced equipment. Moreover, it was found out that there are negative correlations between equipment, financial and material resources and challenges in implementing TQM. The researcher recommended that management must ensure Quality Assurances by conforming to and implementing ISO 9000 and concept of resource compliance Subject The topic of the resource MSc Engineering Project Management Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Technology University College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource January, 2018 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Rev.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Challenges of Implementing an Effective Plan in a Peculiar Socio-Cultural Environment Such As Niger Delta Region A Study of Niger Delta Development Commission (Nddc) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isichei Isioma Martin Description An account of the resource In the Niger Delta Region today, we have a poorly diversified economy due to the over reliance on oil assets. To make matters worse these oil assets are continually harvested in a manner that is degrading the environment with low levels of returns to the economy at large. While the government has tried to set up a proper developmental plan with the commissioning of the Niger Delta development commission (NDDC), there has been challenges in doing this as some problems prevent effective execution of this plan. This study will assess these problems with a view of finding a root cause and then establishing a resolution or control for these problems. A targeted sample size of 399 respondents as people of Niger Delta representing nine states involving Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ondo, Abia, Imo and Edo State were all sampled using stratified sampling technique, this was done to get a general view of the reasons for the failure of the different agencies in proffering lasting solution to the lingering crises and agitation for commensurate development in the Niger Delta. The arithmetical approaches of measurements used here were regularity distributions, percentages, means and standard deviations. The study found that lack of proper education of the people, lack of air pollution control and devices by industries, poor enforcement of the administrative management and regulatory agency are the major challenges hampering the development of this constituency by these agencies. Also, the culture of the people of the Niger Delta seem not to respect human dignity and decency since it has been left un-catered for decades while exploration has continued, the present government efforts is not enough to assure the people of the promised sustainable development based on the corruption culture bedevilling all government agencies.

For instance, QCC utilizes chemicals, for example, Detia gas for fumigation, pyrethrin for misting and part of these chemicals has genuine repercussions if appropriate security measures are not considered. As per (Anon, 2011), presentation of the skin to chemicals can bring about physical inconvenience and agony, loss of work time and salary, powerlessness to perform employment or loss of occupation, restorative costs, personal satisfaction issues and social debilitations. Again substance introduction to the skin can bring about either worldly harm to the skin or perpetual wellbeing harm to the skin. Some transitory harm incorporate dry, red, broke skin, from contact with water, cleansers, gas and certain kinds of solvents. The reason for this investigation is to survey the health and safety hones and to decide the systems for enhancing security culture in QCC and furthermore to decide the level of consistence of Wellbeing and Wellbeing guidelines in QCC, Ghana COCOBOB. Polls were readied and through the straightforward arbitrary testing strategy staff and administration were chosen. Their reactions were assembled and dissected deliberately utilizing Microsoft Exceed expectations to distinguish the potential techniques expected to enhance the word related health and safety of the staff of QCC. After cautious perception of the respondents' perspectives the examination turns out with the view that Ghana COCOBOD, Takoradi has a decent security culture. Be that as it may, their security culture can be enhanced if a specific office is put aside for entirely wellbeing issues. Once more, the greater part of their security hones are as per the practices stipulated in the Ghana Work Demonstration of 2003. Be that as it may, the dedication of administration in specific zones, for example, the arrangement of satisfactory assets is brief time and the administration ought to be concerned. Again from the examinations, the introduction on security alone isn't sufficient and more instruction ought to be done on wellbeing issues.
