THE CONTROL OF LABOUR IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

THE CONTROL OF LABOUR IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Labor control in construction is one of the many options of procurement used for the process of project delivery. According to the records, this method of procurement is the oldest one there is, and it has been in use in Nigeria ever since the colonial era. Researchers defined it as a system in which a developer plans and organises the project delivery process, carries out the design, the planning and procurement of resources, and the construction of a project using client employed supervisory staff and labour, and it is very important in most of the countries (Arindam, 2022). Because the client's team rather than the contractor's staff is responsible for carrying out the project delivery process and activities, this kind of system is considered to be an in-house system. Labor control is a positive innovation in the construction industry since it does not lead to increased staff strength or overhead expenses in the Nigerian building sector.

The phrase "procurement system" refers to the process of executing and delivering a project. It also specifies the obligations of the parties involved and their contractual responsibility to carry out the various actions involved in delivering to the owners. According to Avolio (2021), the process of procurement encompasses a number of different combinations of the design and construction phase in order to establish the form of organisation necessary to carry out the project. According to Maizon (2003), the selection of a procurement technique for a specific project can be a challenging process for customers due to the numerous aspects that control a building project. He went on to say that because every customer has unique wants and expectations, and because construction jobs can vary so greatly and in so many ways, there is no one system of procurement that can be made to work for every kind of job (Braun, 2022).

Construction projects are highly important, particularly as can be seen in developed nations where projects are given a high priority. This is because construction projects are one of the factors that helps determine the degree of growth in any country. The process progresses through the stages of conception, design, and the actual building of the thing. The conceptual process is often kicked off by a prospective buyer who communicates his or her wants and objectives to an industry expert in the form of a brief. At the stage of design, the relevant specialists transform the core concept into three, an expression of a spatial shape to suit the requirements of the owner in a manner that is both option and economical (Arindam, 2022). During the building stage, the conceptualization and design are translated into a physically realisable form in order to fulfil the brief.
