This report is an attempt to find out the failures of
construction project management. To achieve this aim the
report has started by examining characteristics of the construction
industry, and hence the need for Project Managers.
The importance of management is demonstrated through
a discussion of management theories leading up to the conclusion
that the present day project manager will need to have a wider
management basis than the theories provided.
The inappropriateness of existing management techniques
are discussed and this leads to project management as the answer.
The setbacks and failures of the present day Project Manager in
Kenya are then discussed.
The above discussion, are complemented by research on
various issues and these lead to the conclusions, the major of
which is that project management in Kenya is extensively abused in
its present framework.
The recommendations that are given aim to guide future
Project Managers on the failures of those who have been before
them, and this increase their use by building clients.
