Even if having years of experience, every job presents a new set of circumstances and challenges, no matter how to do good during pre-construction stages project monitoring and controlling are necessary to meet project objectives. The objective of this paper is to measures the performance of governmental housing construction projects using earned value analysis. The research is a case study type and mainly conducted at the BOLE ARABSA site. From the case study, the finding indicates that almost all sample blocks from bole arabsa site suffering delays and few cost variations. Material shortage, unit rate change, and work variation were the main reason for the negative cost and schedule variations. The stakeholders shall practice project controlling by continuous monitoring and evaluation using project management tools such as earned value analysis for all aspects of the job that have an impact on cost, time, and quality to improve their performance. The concerned body shall develop and provide a clear guideline and instruction (including the activities to be done to practice earned value analysis) for the stakeholders so that they can train their staff, and use it for day to day reference on their project site.

Summary

Introduction

The Integrated Housing Development Programme (IHDP) is a government-led and financed housing provision program for low-and middle-income households in Ethiopia. Since 2005 Ethiopia has been implementing an ambitious government-led low and middle-income housing program: The Integrated Housing Development Programme (IHDP). The initial goal of this program was to construct 400,000 condominium units, create 200,000 jobs, promote the development of 10,000 micro and small enterprises, enhance the capacity of the construction sector, regenerate inner-city slum areas, and promote homeownership for low-income households [13]. Managers can create risk mitigation plans based on actual cost, schedule, and technical progress of the work. It is an early warning program/project management tool that enables managers to identify and control problems before they become impossible [4]
