FACTORS AFFECTING

Construction projects are frequently affected by labour-related problems that disrupt project delivery and reduce overall performance. This study examined labour-related factors affecting construction project performance in Edo State. It evaluated the frequency and severity of labourrelated factors, ascertained differences in the severity of labour-related factors on the performance of construction projects and determined the influence of labour-related factors on project cost performance in Edo State. A quantitative research approach was employed through the administration of a structured questionnaire to professionals in contracting firms such as architects, builders, M&E engineers, quantity surveyors, civil and structural engineers. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kruskal Wallis H test to determine, differences in the effects of labour-related factors on project cost performance in Edo State. The findings reveal that, the most frequent and severe labour-related factor affecting project cost performance is time management. The severity of most labour-related factors do not differ for different firm sizes and cost performance levels. However, the severity of occupational education level and experience was observed to be significantly different among micro, small and medium construction firms. While training was observed to be significantly different for different cost performance levels. The study recommends that micro construction firms should employ highly skilled and experienced labourers. The study demonstrated the contribution of labour-related factors to construction cost performance.
