| description | The focal point of this study was to assess the perspectives of construction
professionals on factors influencing tender prices of construction works and the contribution
of the factors to the success rate of contractors. Using literature review and questionnaire
survey, 15 factors were identified in respect to contractors' tender price and success rate in
Nigeria. The findings of this study based on the results of statistical analyses (mean score and
chi-square) reveal that all the construction professionals (architects, builders, engineers and
quantity surveyors) are of the opinion that material availability, labour productivity and level
of profit are the most significant factors that highly influence tender price of construction
works and consequently affect the success rate of contractors in competitive bidding.
Project definition and construction plan have least influence on contractors' tender price.
Also, it was found that government policy does not have significant effect on contractors'
success rate in competitive bidding in Nigeria. It is hoped that the information presented in
this paper will be of interest to all parties concerned, including Nigerian construction
companies and foreign companies planning to enter the Nigerian construction market. In
addition, while the research focused on a particular country, Nigeria, the study can be
replicated in other countries particularly developing countries and the results can be
compared. |
