Keeping construction projects within estimated costs and
schedules requires sound strategies, good practices, and careful
judgment. To the dislike of owners, contractors and
consultants, however, many projects experience extensive
delays and thereby exceed initial time and cost estimates. This
problem is more obvious in the traditional or adversarial type
of contracts in which the contract is awarded to the lowest
bidder, which is the strategy in the majority of public projects
in developing countries [7]. In order to manage and control
construction projects, there are various procurements strategies
being adopted. Most popular strategies include traditional,
management, integrated services and in-house teams [8]. These
strategies contain various methods of managing projects as
