Keywords:
Infrastructure Management, Vertical Construction, State Colleges and UniversitiesAbstract
This study is concerned with the management of infrastructure projects of the state colleges and universities in Samar with the aim of providing these same colleges the information that would lead them to have more judicious handling of resources both human and material in undertaking vertical constructional projects and assessing the status of the project. The “planning and design” stage of the construction process was considered by the administrators and construction workers as “moderately implemented” with weighted means of 2.56 and 3.35, respectively. Meanwhile, the contractors’ group considered this stage as “highly implemented'' with a weighted mean of 3.70. under “prequalification, “ the following were the weighted means obtained: administrators- 2.90 or “moderately implemented, “ contractors- 4.05 or “highly implemented, “ and construction workers- 3.38 or “moderately implemented.” The contractors and construction workers showed less resistance among themselves. This could be attributed to the fact that they work closely with one another. Also, construction workers were hired by the contractors, hence, the former are expected to follow orders from the latter. The PBAC member should assign a member who will conduct background investigation regarding contractors’ capabilities more so on financial, equipment and technical personnel.
