Recenzii

"As governments seek to achieve construction objectives using poor labour-intensive methods plagued by inefficient policies and practices, weak institutions and adverse business environment, complicated by complex social and cultural practices, which makes it difficult for the indigenous contractor in Africa to perform efficiently. this book addresses the issues of the productivity of the labour-intensive work practices that has emerged; with special regards to Road Construction Works in Ghana, Kenya and South Africa as Construction Industry Practitioners contend with the twin issues of poor human resource base and Low technology environment." - Ozo Professor Nathaniel Anny Aniekwu, University of Benin. Benin City. Nigeria.
