Evaluation Of Cost And Time Control Using Earned Value In Building Projects In Khartoum State

Abstract

In the period between 2016-2019 and the problem of searching for roads lies in the cost and time of projects in the construction experience in Sudan from exceeding the time specified in the contract between the owner and the executing party and exceeding the cost in contracts The research aims to know the cost and time control, monitor the project status and forecast the final work cost, to address weaknesses and defects in the plan and early identification of risks at the beginning of the project. The study hypothesized that there is a relationship between controlling construction projects, namely controlling cost and time, monitoring the project’s status through updating project costs, managing changes to the cost baseline, forecasting the final work cost, dealing with weaknesses and defects in the plan, reducing losses that occur when achieving the desired results. The research followed the descriptive and analytical method A case study was done for the Al-Sajana Commercial Tower project by collecting its data. A questionnaire was designed for workers in construction projects in Khartoum State targeting the engineering engineers registered in the engineering group. The approved number of participants was 110 participants. The research reached several results that demonstrated inflation has a major impact on project resources. The earned value is more used in construction projects in Sudan because it is considered one of the most successful ways to monitor the project and forecast what it will be in the future. The research reached several recommendations, including qualifying the administrative staff for construction projects in Sudan to use cost estimation methods in institutions, developing the role of administrative departments such as planning, follow-up, studies, designs and technical specifications for contracts to facilitate the implementation of projects.
