| dc.description.abstract | The construction industry in Ethiopia is faced with a lot of challenges ranging from project inception to hand over one of the main challenge in the execution of construction projects is construction method of delivery and an ever increasing project undertakings of labor-only contract and direct labor contract. This study therefore compares the performance of labor-only and directly employed contracts in Addis Ababa .Present construction projects in general are becoming highly capital intensive. In recent years, the application of labor-based methods with employing equipment’s in building construction has been initiated due to its assumed economic advantages for owners. However, there are inevitable doubts, especially among engineers and project planners, as to the feasibility of the labor-based methods. Whether it would be possible to apply these methods without sacrificing quality standards, what effect they might have on the pace of construction, what additional strains they might place on scarce managerial resources, and of course, what the comparative cost would be. This labor based construction approach gained popularity late last century because it was seen as a clever way to cut costs. Many property owners naively believed that project management was a straightforward exercise they could do in their spare time, and this enabled them to avoid paying the margin to the builder that he would otherwise receive for performing this function. The study focused on Addis Ababa region labor based construction projects and contracts, for this study questioners and interviews were conducted as well as results and discussions based on the scientific analysis were drawn based on the analysis and observed data. The results show that, therefore, recommends that the use of the labor-only procurement system should be encouraged among construction participants trying to achieve small construction projects within the available budget. However, care must be taken while adopting this procurement option for high capital and very technical projects. Because these projects might need well skilled man power, Since Controlling, quality of construction materials and risk associated with the construction projects is very hard to manage for large projects. | en_US |
