Abstract
The concept of working through User Committees (UCs) is gaining popularity but very few studies about problems and prospects of implemented construction projects are carried out. Thus there is need of comprehensive study of construction projects implemented through UCs. The overall objective of the research was to assess problems and prospects of construction projects implemented through UCs in Mahalaxmi Municipality. The research attempted to assess awareness level of local residents, intensity of problems and status of completed projects. To meet these objectives, primary data were collected in Mahalaxmi Municipality. Questionnaire survey and field observations were done to collect primary data. Data were then analyzed and results were discussed. The most prominent prospect was functionality of completed projects. The other prospects were sound awareness level of local residents, environment friendly construction, satisfaction of local people in terms of time, cost and quality and beneficiaries’ contribution in the projects. Political interference during UCs formation was the most intense problem. Other problem areas identified were lack of maintenance fund, adoption of safety measures and procedures in construction project, discussion with beneficiaries about problem and solution to the work, transparency, work distribution and project book keeping.
