The price 91% of construction projects are finished late, according to Uganda. This study investigated how professional contract management techniques affect Ugandan building construction projects' timely completion. Simple random selection was used to get 82 responders from purposively chosen projects. A questionnaire was used as the data gathering instrument. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess quantitative data. The overall mean answer was 4.0 for contractor prequalification procedures and 4.6 for contractor monitoring procedures. The results of the study show that contractor prequalification procedures have a considerable impact on the timely completion of building construction projects, with a chi-square value of 101.246 and a p-value of 0.001. This also held true for contractor supervision procedures, with a p-value of 0.000 and a chi-square value of 151.046. To improve the timely completion of building construction projects, a model was created. The results of the study show that contractor pre-qualification and monitoring procedures have a favorable effect on building construction projects' timely completion. According to the report, pre-qualification procedures for contractors should be founded on their financial soundness, management team, and level of experience. Effective coordination, quality control, resolving environmental issues, and reducing site risks should be the main goals of contractor supervision procedures. This will minimize interruptions and ensure that the project is completed on schedule.enConstruction industryContracts and specificationsConstruction contractsBuildingSuperintendenceThesis
