Abstract: Most capital construction projects fail to meet expectations of completing within budgets, on the planned schedule and ensuring quality of work. If projects are not performing effectively or completing successfully, the impact may be felt throughout the organization. The strategic plan designed via the use of projects toward business objectives, becomes ineffective. Various studies have been conducted to examine the factors responsible for the success and/or failures of projects, specifically, the factors that cause project costs overruns. A common finding of most studies is that project management failure, is largely responsible for the failure of projects. While most of the factors cited to be responsible for project failures cannot be underestimated; this paper is of the view that, tackling a central issue that leads to construction costs overruns is of utmost importance. The purpose of this study is thus to determine how effective execution plans, specifically, how a well-developed and implemented “Execution Plan (EP)” can positively impact the success of the construction phase of a project, and hence the success of the entire project.
Keywords: Project management, Execution Plan (EP).
