1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This
study will be of importance to personnel in the construction industry
and the general public because it would not only clarify but also create
awareness of the extent to which inadequacies in cost management and
procurement systems can adversely affect project performance. The study
will also help contractors, clients, consultants and all parties
involved in construction projects about ways of improving their current
method of cost management and control. The study will also be of great
benefit for other student researchers’ who may want to venture into the
same subject matter. Having gotten results-both empirically and
theoretically, the study will serve as a foundation for future research
studies.
1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study will cover some
selected contractors from Owerri. All findings and recommendations from
the study may not reflect the true view of the traditional roles and
changing roles of quantity surveyors as the researcher could not cover a
wider area due to financial and time constraints.
