Act 1 · The Project RealityChapter 04The Construction Challenge

Projects are won on estimates. Profits are made on control.

Project Cost and Contracting Challenges in Kenya

Material availability across road and building projects

Procurement lead time and supplier performance

Contractor measurement, retention and certification

Project cost, eTIMS invoicing and cash visibility

Changing BOQs and unapproved variations

Delayed procurement and material leakage

Retention, billing and receivable delays

Budget-versus-actual variance across projects

The real management questions

Where are we losing money?
Which project is going off-budget?
Which activity is delayed?
Which subcontractor is affecting the project?
Which variation has not been billed?
What will the final project cost be?
What should management do now?
The question is no longer what happened. It is what needs attention now.
