Abstract: Construction projects outsourced by various Kenya Urban Roads Authority contractors are facing main difficulties. This is due to the statistics showing that projects that have been contracted over the previous 5 years have not been finished within the given constraints, lacking service quality and thus increasing the expenses associated. The study aimed at determining the impact of contractor competence on road construction projects implementation. This study was conducted through a descriptive design. From 2013 to 2017, the target population was road building projects under the Kenya Urban Roads Authority in which five projects were studied. 60 participants were the target. A census was conducted of 60 participants. Questionnaires were given to all participants. Statistics of description and regression were used to analyse quantitative data. The established a positive relationship between contractor competence and implementation of projects. It was concluded that contracts are obviously negotiated with all contracts at the service level that have been established and the choice of contractors is based on abilities, reliability and credibility. The study recommends that the contractor’s credibility be sought first before the organisation concludes a contract with the contractor.
