“…However, the most important planning factors affecting the implementation of VRE in the research are the inadequate employee training to implement the process; difficulty in matching the best technology with the new process; Workers' fear of job loss; and lack of understanding of the implementation requirement. Therefore, changing the fortune of the CI can be surmounted by the workers having no fear of their job being lost as a result of the new technique, due to the inadequate training received by the operators and also understanding the implementation requirement that would match the best technology with the new process innovation, these, however, is supported by Puruhita (2018) and Fasna and Gunatilake (2019). Consequently, it was found that technical related factors affecting the implementation in the CI are: lack of client involvement in the design phase that results in incidence of variations and time extensions; quality standards of contractor's work; and involvement of design team and client through partnering integration; and partnering in the context of a contractor-sub contractor relationship are also necessary.…”

“…Mao and Zhang (2008) emphasis that the VRE implementation concept has been applied in many industries as well as manufacturing to redesign the work process in achieving customer value for their product. Puruhita (2018) stress that implementation of the VRE concept has been introduced into the CI with varying levels of success for different projects. Soares (2013) expressed that the concepts are tested in new projects that force CI to shift its tradition into project integration.…”

“…Poor communication between the VRE team and organisation and failure to effectively monitor the progress of the project according to the schedule are the issues faced by the selected organisation in both VRE implementation and post VRE implementation phase (Fasna and Gunatilake, 2019). Puruhita (2018) viewed the most severe environmental factors affecting the adoption and implementation of VRE in an organisation as the creation of an unfriendly company environment and lack of communication between top management and other supporting staff.

Production improvement techniques in use by the Construction Industry (CI) in developing countries like Nigerian are yielding sub-optimal value for customers. This necessitated the investigation of techniques to engender maximum efficiency gains. Hence, continuous improvements on new techniques that will give customer satisfaction are required to be implemented to improve the development of the sector. The adoption of Value Reengineering (VRE) could result in a breakthrough solution in resolving the challenges of customer dissatisfaction in the industry. The subjectivist methodology was utilised to establish critical success factors in thirty-four purposefully sampled building construction operators within Abuja using purposive sampling techniques. The deductive/thematic technique was used to analyse the recorded, transcribed, and interpreted interview data after it had been sorted and coded to develop information about any common pattern among the interviewees' evidence on causes militating against VRE deployment in the CI. The results revealed a significant need for the process to be reengineered through the utility of change enablers and the introduction of assistive technologies. The study further reveals that inadequate employee training to implement VRE, lack of understanding of the implementation requirements, top management commitment, quality standards of contractor’s work, and lack of employee consensus to see the implementation through is the key planning, technical and organisational related factors identified. The research concluded that VRE implementation would be achieved if adequate attention is given to the level of awareness of the operator of the technique through training and retraining of operatives in the industry. The study recommends that VRE implementation in all construction projects be encouraged, as it has the potential for the customer to achieve its desired satisfaction on value offering.
