Monitoring and Evaluation Practices on Building Construction Project Delivery among Tertiary Institutions of Ondo State, Nigeria

Abstract

The objectives of this paper are to monitor and evaluate the practices on building construction project delivery among tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria, using appropriate standard methods adopting a survey design technique administered to 105 construction professionals with an 81% response rate. Multiple analytical techniques of descriptive and appropriate inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The results, using multiple logistic regression, reveal that benchmarking, earned value analysis, feasibility studies, key performance indicators, program evaluation and review technique, balance scorecard, and work breakdown structure significantly affected the delivery of building construction projects of the tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study recommends that higher institutions in the study area should not relent in their M&E strategies for the continuous and timely delivery of building construction projects. Additionally, M&E techniques such as program evaluation review, work breakdown structure, and earned value analysis could be improved upon for enhanced delivery of building construction projects of tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria.
