Abstract
The title of the thesis is "Control of Labour Cost", based
on investigative studies conducted into its applications in the
construction of building projects. Investigative studies
conducted into the operations of some construction firms
revealed the absence of a labour cost control system, but the
presence of an achaic project cost system, which is based on
overall profit /Loss state of the contract at the end of construction,
which are historical.
The absence and non-operation of a labour cost control
system were based on the inherent fears of:
i) The quality of manpower requirement in the management of
the system
ii) Cost of installing and operating the system
iii) Time, involved in the operation of the system
In tackling these fears, literature reviews on existing
practices of cost control processes were undertaken. This with a
view of extracting a labour cost control system that could be
adopted for use in the companies investigated. Finally,
recommendations of the composition of project teams for big and
small companies were made. This is hoped, will help in allaying
the fears expressed.
