Background

Our team was tasked with managing classroom projects for schools in the North-Rift region. The project involved generating bills of quantities and providing project management services as the Regional Works Office. We conducted site visits and generated interim payment certificates to all contractors.

Problem

The main challenge we faced was ensuring that the projects were completed within the stipulated timelines and budget. We had to ensure that all contractors adhered to the specifications provided in the bills of quantities, and that any issues that arose during construction were addressed promptly.

Solution

To address these challenges, we adopted a proactive approach to project management. We ensured that all contractors were aware of their responsibilities and timelines, and we closely monitored their progress throughout the construction process. We also conducted regular site visits to identify any issues early on, which allowed us to address them before they escalated into bigger problems.
