CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Labour control in building is one of the several option of procurement used for project delivery process and records shows that is the oldest procurement system and has been in use in Nigeria far back as the colonial era. It is very important in most of the countries and researchers described it as a system whereby a developer plans and organizes the project delivery process, carries out the design, the planning and procurement of resources and the construction a project using client employed supervisory staff and labour. This type of system is regarded as in-house because clients staff as different from contactor's staffs carry out the project delivery process and activities. Labour control is the good development in construction because it does not result in high staff strength and overhead costs in the Nigerian construction industry.
The term procurement system refers to a project execution and delivery process and it describes the responsibilities and contractual obligation of the parties to carry out the numerous activities involved in delivering to the owners. According to Ojo (2009), procurement involves the various combination of the design and construction phase to achieve the form of organization to implement the project. Maizon (2003), mention that the Selection of a procurement method for a given project is a difficult task for the clients due to the various factors governing a construction project. He stated further that different client have differing needs and requirements whereby construction project vary so considerably and in every respect, that no single method of procurement can be suitable for every project.
Construction projects are very essential especially as see in developed countries where project are taken as a great priority because it is part of the determinant in knowing the level of development of any country. It evolves through the stages of conception, design and the actual construction. A potential owner initiates the conceptual process by making dew is needs and requirements in form of a brief to a professional. At the design stage, the relevant professionals translate the primary concept into three, an expression of a spatial form to satisfy the owner's requirements in an option and economic manner. At the construction stage the conception and design are actualized in a practical terms to satisfy the brief.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Method provides the framework for implementation and development of project. Time and serious attention are devoted towards the establishment of a procurement system that will be suitable for a particular project.
