| dc.description.abstract | Purpose - Construction projects in Provisional Government authorities in South Africa are vital vehicle for social economic development of the community. In achievement of best and viable projects, value management technique should be deployed from the beginning to the end of the project. This research investigated the impediments to the adoption of value management technique studies in the public sector projects. The aim is to identify impediment factors to the adoption of Value management technique Studies in the public sector projects in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa Design - In addition to the literature review that was conducted and identified a number of impediment factors to the adoption of Value management technique in the public sector in other countries such as Malaysia, China and Hong Kong, A semi structured interview was conducted with key Heads of Eastern Cape Department of Publics works to get their views. A web survey with a number of impediment factors identified by the interviewers and those identified in the literature review was sent to Built environment professionals who work with Eastern Cape Provisional Government in deferent capacities. Findings – The research find identified that, Incompetent Skilled Personnel, Lack of training and Education in Value management technique, Political Influence, Lack of Awareness about Value management technique, Bureaucracy with government and lack of practical guideline for implementation of Value management technique are overwhelmingly the main impediment factors to the adoption of Value management technique study in the public sector projects in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Practical Implications - The findings revealed critical key issues that need to be addressed so that the benefits of implementation of Value management technique CON5023Z Page 3 may be realised however, the findings and the research process had some limitations. The sample for the survey was chosen from a population of Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The outcome of the survey is not always a true representation of the entire country as this was limited to one province. It therefore implies that further research studies might be required using a bigger sample size spanning various and different levels of government and provinces. The research findings may also need to be confirmed with more qualitative methods. | |
