Comparisons of Procurement Characteristics of Traditional and Labour-only Procurements in Housing Projects in Nigeria
Procurement characteristics of Traditional and Labour-only are compared insome selected states of Nigeria. The objective of this study is to examine if procurementrisks, generation of claims, variations to original design, control of sub-contractors andprocurement prospects are the same for both methods. The study obtains its primary datathrough the use of designed questionnaires that are sent to clients, contractors andconsultants. In all, 120 questionnaires were sent to these respondents who recentlycompleted their housing projects based on the two methods. Results of the study indicatethat there is no significant difference between both methods in terms of risks of value formoney, getting good satisfaction, generation of more claims and variation to originaldesign while a significant difference exists between both methods in risk of timelycompletion of project. Labour-only method demonstrates less risk of timely completionof project than the Traditional method. Characteristics of both methods are notsignificantly different from each other when control of subcontractors, benefits of gettinggood quality material and workmanship, satisfaction with co-ordination and planning.improved relationship between project team and timely delivery of project are benefits ofcomparisons. Labour-only differs significantly from Traditional method in terms ofprospect of getting good value for money spent on the project. This study concludes thatthere are various types of risks inherent in use of both methods in housing projects andLabour-only method indicates characteristics of early completion of project and prospectsof getting good value for money. Recommendations of the study are that clients,contractors and consultants should use Labour-only for execution of their future housingprojects and also they are at liberty to use any of the two methods as they best satisfytheir requirements. Implications of this study to policy makers and other stakeholders inthe construction industry is that Labour-only method should be explored for use in largeand complex projects as significant cost savings can be achieved, timely delivery ofproject and good value for money are equally achievable with the use of the method.Results of this study serve as a springboard for further research in perfecting the use ofLabour-only method for construction projects.Keywords: Comparisons, Procurement characteristics, Traditional and Labour-onlyprocurements, Nigeria.
