Abstract
A construction project could be completed within the budgeted cost; time frame; quality expected, and, even satisfied the stake-holders` implied needs with lots of resources wastage, thus, an accomplishment of the predetermined project objectives do not signify that the project is successful in utilisation of resources optimally. To achieve optimal construction resources utilisation and
minimisation of resources wastefulness, in addition to other factors;
there is a need to assess how the site manager’s achieve the project concepts in relation to the resources utilisation, which this study evaluated. This research was conducted in the UK and mixed method research approach was adopted by exploring quantitative questionnaire and qualitative interview surveys’ methods for obtaining data. The paper establishes factors that are under accomplished by the site manager and which require improvement towards optimal resources utilisation. Among the facts deduced are the needs for effective management of time and cost saving contrasts; implementation of prefabrication, modular construction
systems; and adequate planning before project commences. The
findings report in this paper will not only enhance the site managers efficient performance during construction production process, but will also improve resources utilisation and stakeholders’ satisfaction.
