- Description
- The main objective of the study was to evaluate building infrastructure delivery within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, Eastern Cape Province. The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure is a governmental section in charge for the development of infrastructure and delivery of government projects. The study adopted a quantitative research approach; the sampling technique that was used for the current study is the convenience sampling technique. This technique is also referred to as availability or accidental sampling. The population for the study consisted of respondents from the construction-consulting firms and contractors such as the Aurecon Group, Haw and Inglis Civil Engineering, the Metro Bay Municipality, and the National Home Builders Registration Council. The number of questionnaire that was distributed is about thirty-three (33) and about 36.4% response rate received. The findings of the study revealed the impact of the late payment on the progress of building infrastructure projects. The study indicated that, delayed payment to the contractor can affect the can affect the productivity adversely. It is also established that delayed payment includes unrealistic cash flows, error in clams, financial challenges and disagreements relating to the valuation of work. This implies that, payments that are processed on time to the contractors can be of critical importance on the success of the project, whilst on the other hand non-payment or delayed payment have a negative impact on the implementation of construction projects. In the context of building infrastructure projects delay is a regular and common problem, which has a negative impact on the overall project success particularly in the Eastern Cape Province.
