Why is it important?

Millions of Ghana Cedis or equivalent dollars elude the government of Ghana due projects that have been awarded when reliable design information is not available or inadequate. Therefore, the recommendations and findings in this articles if studied and adopted will save the country million of cedis in future contract awards.
