Abstract
Uganda's road construction industry has experienced growth over time because of increased budget allocations. Although the industry has dramatically improved, projects are still experiencing challenges, including but not limited to cost overruns, time overruns, incompetent staff, poor designs, site-related challenges, inadequate resources, low innovation and shoddy work. These are the factors affecting the performance of road projects in Uganda. Therefore, as a way to address the mentioned issues and improve the road construction industry, this paper, through the literature review, looked at the concept of construction contract administration and its context on project implementation. A scoping review of the most relevant work in the field of road construction with emphasis on contract administration and the performance of road construction projects in Uganda presented a salient gap in the area of contract administration. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on the impact of contracts administration on road construction projects which is forming the basis of ongoing research to develop a contract administration strategy that will be used on road construction projects with the aim of improving the performance of road construction projects in Uganda.
