The Role of Building Construction Project Team Members In Building Projects Delivery

Abstract

This research work was undertaken to clear the confusion and misinterpretation surrounding the actual roles of the building construction project team members in project delivery in Nigeria. The study was necessary because of the need to minimize wastage of resources and to ensure that projects are delivered according to specifications, quality, on time and within budget requirements. The paper studied the roles of the professionals in the building project delivery by collecting and analyzing data gathered through seeking the opinions of stakeholders in the building construction industry. The study showed that supervising and managing building projects delivery are two different things that have clearly identifiable roles for each group of the project team members involved in building project delivery processes. It also showed that the person who should take the project manager position will depend on certain reasons that include the procurement method being used for a particular project. It is therefore hoped that the findings of this study will provide a better understanding for all the parties involved in the building project delivery in Nigeria, in other to encourage the achievement of stakeholders objectives.
