Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Construction Management
Abstract
The study to examine procurement systems and their impacts on cost management and delivery, the study's objectives are to identify different procurement methods deployed often by Lagos construction professionals, look at issues that can arise when using different procurement systems for building projects, and look at how procurement systems affect construction costs. The primary source, a standardized and well-structured questionnaire, and secondary sources, which covered books, journals, applicable literature, peer-reviewed journals, official government publications, newspapers, magazines, and online sources, were utilized to obtain the data for this study. This study employed a descriptive survey research design. A sample size of fifty (50) respondents was obtained using a stratified random sampling technique from the total number of professionals employed in the various construction industries in Lagos State. Standardized methods were used to analyze the data that was gathered. The data gathered was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Project stakeholders and clients should work together to ensure that the right procurement methods that would significantly reduce project costs are implemented in order to guarantee effective delivery and the best results when projects are done.
