Leon Casper Coetser, Noor un Nisa
Abstract
Among the many challenges confronting the South African building industry are a dearth of skills, rework caused
by bad workmanship, and the impact and disruption of unions and local forums. This research aims to determine
project managers’ challenges in the South African construction business and how they cope with them. The qualitative inquiry will utilize conversations and notes to determine whether lousy craftsmanship results in project
losses. According to the researcher, the conceptual foundation for this investigation is interpretivism. Employees are watched and questioned in the workplace. During data gathering, a methodical technique of collecting and
evaluating data is used to answer study survey questions and analyze findings. Thematic Analysis, which finds and
arranges patterns of meaning across datasets, can be used in research to investigate and comprehend communal
meanings and experiences.
