dc.description.abstractFor a long time there has been an outcry in public Institutions of low quality, delayed completion and high cost of construction projects; resulting from contractors, lack of adequate supervision, lack of funds and commitment. The government has been insisting on use of FA in construction of projects. This study assessed on influence of force account in achieving VFM in construction of Health Centers‘ buildings at Bariadi Town Council. Explicitly, the study determined the influence of personnel on VFM in construction of health centers‘ buildings, examined the influence of capital on VFM in construction of health centers‘ buildings and assessed the influence of project management on VFM in construction of Health centers‘ buildings. The study was conducted at Bariadi Town council. A mixed survey study design was used to get a sample size of 205 respondents. However, the study managed to collect and analyse193 questionnaire and 12 interview guides from key informants. Both simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used in selection of sample. The study employed a questionnaire, interview checklists and documentary review methods of data collection. Reliability of questionnaire was tested before analysis of data. Quantitative data were descriptively analyzed and finally subjected to MRA to determine significance of influence on VFM using SPSS version 20, and presented by using tables and figures. Qualitative data were analyzed by using content analysis technique. The study found that there was a relatively significant influence of organization personnel and project management on VFM in construction of public buildings. VFM was explained by 29.2% and 25.3% by organizational personnel and project management respectively with significant contribution on VFM i.e. P-value 0.000 and 0.001 respectively. Organizational capital had very low influence on VFM with p-value 0.99 which is˃ 0.05 showing insignificant influence on VFM. The study concludes that FA has improved VFM in construction of buildings in public institutions. The study provides several recommendations including hiring of adequate engineers and allocate supervision fund in the construction budget. Also BOQs, drawings, specifications and construction budget should be prepared based on project location
