1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Most
construction project site in Nigeria is being managed by unqualified
person who lacks the requisite capacity to identify test of work
environment. Investigation have shown that there is serious declined in
the number of young men and women taken up vocation or apprenticeship in
specialized construction place. This has created a situation where most
men and women (unskilled construction workers) who don't have proper
and adequate training on the construction work environment and its
procedures, such scenario constitute a serious problem to the building
process not only in term of poor quality work, delay or abandonments of
project but also term of low productivity which hinder national
development. Many factors are internally generated this controllable
by management, some factor are however beyond management control (e.g.
nutrition type of workers, change in climatic condition etc) and their
impact are beyond the scope of the present discourse.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The
aim of this study is to assess the efficiency and productivity of
construction skilled workers in Nigeria with Imo state as a case study.
The objectives of the study are as follows
1. To identify productivity factor in the construction work environment.
2. To what extent can skilled workers contribute to the productivity and successful project delivery?
3. To determine whether construction skilled workers are productive or not.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
The study would consider the following question.
1. What are the major factors that contribute to productivity on the construction environment?
2. What strategies can be adopted for measuring productivity and performance on site?
3. To what extent can skilled workers contribute to the productivity and successful project delivery?
4. How does this factor contribute to achievement or non achievement of project target on site?
5. To what extent can unskilled workers contribute to waste of resources, failure or unsuccessful project delivery?
6. How effective are these factors when applied This study would attempt to provide answer to the above question.
