Process Integration and Implementation of Affordable Housing Construction Projects in Mombasa County, Kenya

The general objective of this study was to examine the influence of process integration on implementation of affordable housing construction projects in Mombasa County, Kenya. This study was anchored by contingency theory and adopted cross-sectional survey research design. The target population of the study consisted of six (6) major affordable housing construction projects being implemented in Mombasa County, Kenya, and those formed the unit of analysis. The target population was considered to be appropriate because of the uniqueness and contemporary nature of the projects, given the publicity and push by the central government. Primary data was collected by use of structured questionnaires from specialist staff, consultants and contractors’ representatives who formed the unit of observation. Pilot testing was undertaken using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26, to test the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The study used proportionate stratified random sampling to select study respondents. The significance of the statistical model was tested through analysis of variance where beta coefficient showed the change in dependent variable for one unit change in the independent variable and assisted in drawing conclusions for the study. The study found that process integration influenced implementation of affordable housing construction projects in Mombasa County, Kenya noting that most project institutions had clear project objectives. The study recommended the adoption of process integration in implementation of affordable housing construction projects since it bridges the gap between planning and execution, reducing cost overruns and delays.
