Abstract:
This stuy aimed to examine the effectiveness of force account implementation on the
performance of construction of primary school projects in the Moshi Municipal Council.
The specific objectives of this study were to evaluate the role of resource allocation, cost
control and quality control on the performance of primary school construction projects.
System theory was adopted in this study. This study adopted a positivist research
philosophy, using a quantitative approach within an explanatory research design. The
target population included of 218 officials of the Moshi Municipal Council, with a
puposive sampling technique for participant selection. Data collection consists of primary
data via a structured questionnaire and secondary data from documentary reviews.
Analysis involves quantitative methods, using SPSS version 26 for descriptive statistics.
The study found that adequate financial resources positively impact project performance,
while proper material allocation contributes significantly to improving construction
quality. Findings revealed that cost control plays an essential role in ensuring the
successful completion of primary school construction projects and cost control measures
were applied throughout the projects and that effective monitoring of costs helps prevent
budget overruns. The study also showed that quality control is an indispensable aspect of
project success, especially in primary school construction projects hence regular
inspections ensured high construction standards and contributed to building durability. The
study recommends that Moshi Municipal Council enhance the efficiency and timeliness of
resource allocation for primary school construction projects, strengthen cost control
measures, and improve the integration and implementation of quality control mechanisms
throughout the construction process. Additionally, it suggests that future research on the
implementation of force account in primary school construction projects should focus on
investigating the factors contributing to project delays and cost overruns, which could offer
valuable insights into addressing inefficiencies and improving overall project outcomes.
