ABSTRACT
The chapter conceptualizes monitoring and evaluation as a five-factor model. The chapter asserts that the M&E of projects will require the involvement of all parties to the project (stakeholder), sufficient budgetary allocation, technical capacity and training, effective leadership and communication. An empirical literature review approach was adopted and the frequency of reviewed factors indicated the importance of the factor in facilitating effective M&E of the construction process. The review informs that the five-factor conceptualized IME model potentially will result in the desired project outcomes: timely completion of projects, conformity to specification, achieving project cost, stakeholder satisfaction, health & safety, value for money, environmental performance and end user and client satisfaction. The knowledge gained will help in the understanding of the elements and components of the M&E system relating or influencing each other to facilitate the achievement of project targets and goals.
