- Description
- Abstract: Construction projects in the public sector have often been affected by major challenges with regards to project ownership by stakeholders particularly the co-operation of local communities. Various government policies and regulations exist which supports the participation of small and medium scale enterprises within the built environment especially on public sector projects. This research study investigated the influence of local communities on public sector construction projects with a focus on the impact of the local community involved in the construction of the Hammanskraal Pedestrian Bridge over the R101 in Hammanskraal, Pretoria. Structured interviews were conducted with the main contractor, the professional team involved in the project and the municipality officials overseeing the project. The findings show that the stakeholders from the Hammanskraal community had a high degree of influence on the project, unfortunately their influence on the project was negative.
