    (Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2024-04) Okekunle, Rasaki Chris
    This work examined the capacity of construction firms in the delivery of construction projects in Anambra State. The objectives include to analyse the selected construction projects to determine their level of performance, to determine the level of correlation between the role of contractors and implementation of projects and analyse the factors that inhibit construction firms’ role in the implementation of construction projects. Earned Value Analysis method was partly used to analyze the performance data of the selected construction projects which showed low performance due to high level of cost and time overrun. The contributory factors to the low performance were identified. Based on this, five-point Likert’s scale questionnaire was designed and distributed to 111 respondents for assessment. The multiple regression analysis of the factors show that all the identified factors significantly affected the role and performance of the construction firms with poor economic situation posing the highest effect. Hence, the study recommends that Government policies should be formulated to create a conducive environment for construction firms to be active in their roles for improve success in the delivery of construction projects; Construction firms should apply the project management techniques; construction firms should ensure that qualified personnel are employed to handle the planning and implementation of construction projects, Honesty and transparency should be the watch word for construction firms in performing their construction activities when dealing with clients and; The NSE and other organized professional bodies in Nigeria should revoke the operating license of construction firms found violating the professional ethics and roles in managing projects. This will reduce the level of insincerity exhibited by most construction firms and improve expertise in the execution of construction projects by engaging qualified personnel with the requisite knowledge regarding project management techniques for proper planning and implementation of construction projects in Anambra State.
