Abstract

The construction industry is vital to the existence of other industrial sector and provides the environment under which other sectors operate. It is the largest industry and contributes about 10 % of the gross national product (GNP) in industrialized countries. It also plays a major role in development and reaching the goals of society. The current study aims to identify the factors required in the management of good site management on construction sites in Swaziland. The study is conducted with reference to existing theoretical literature, published and unpublished research. The study is mainly a literature review/survey on site management practices on construction sites. Findings emanating from the study reveal that realistic studies have identified a number of problems on site management practices such as management and administration problems, technical problems and communication problems. It also indicates that site management involves a mixture of activities which turn basic sources to a finished product. The study presents a strong background on site management practices on construction sites in the Swaziland construction industry.
