  • Abstract:

    This paper examines the relative intrinsic importance of the effective management of project time, cost and quality in the attainment of client objectives. The findings from a questionnaire survey are presented. The survey explored the perceptions of South African clients concerning their objectives and the project time, cost and quality management associated with building procurement systems in South Africa. The findings indicate that mis-perceptions exist between clients, contractors and building professionals regarding the time, cost and quality management associated with building projects, and the contribution this makes to the attainment of client objectives.
