Abstract
Cost performance is one of the fundamental criteria
for success of any project. Numerous factors were reported by researchers to be
responsible for contributing to poor cost performance, among which is inability
of project participants (team) to work collaboratively and lack of
co-ordination among construction parties. Preceding researches focused largely
on: team composition, leadership, communication and identifying factors
responsible for effective and ineffective teams in Nigerian construction
industry. It is therefore necessary to determine the level of influence of
construction projects team effectiveness on cost performance of public building
project in order to augment the effectiveness of cost performance in Bauchi
state North Eastern Nigeria. Quantitative survey research design was employed
where 150 questionnaires were administered to construction projects team
members of an ongoing projects in four higher institutions in Bauchi state whom
were conveniently randomly selected. 139 questionnaires were returned, 5
discarded due to severe issues of outliers and missing values, leaving 134
valid which represent 89 percent. The results indicated that about 56.5 percent
in the changes in cost performance can be explained by changes in the
construction projects team effectiveness. It should serve as a wake-up call to
stakeholders in Nigerian construction industry on the consequences of team
effectiveness for enhancing effective cost performance for national economic
development. The study is therefore recommended the improvement of team
effectiveness factors of the industry
