The Effectiveness of Force Account Implementation on the Performance Of Construction Of Primary School

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.
