Abstract
Denne kandidatafhandling undersøger, hvordan subsidierede byggeprojekter kan monitoreres og evalueres for at skabe transparens for bygherren og samtidig opfylde kvalitetskrav. Det centrale forskningsspørgsmål er: Hvilke faktorer hæmmer kvaliteten, og hvordan kan et resultatorienteret system for monitorering og evaluering (M&E) understøtte en mere gennemsigtig og effektiv projektgennemførelse? Afhandlingen bygger på en litteraturgennemgang og anvender metoder og rammer som Result Based Management (RBM), Result Based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBME), Project Cycle Management, Theory of Change og Logical Framework Approach. Disse værktøjer omsættes i en casestudie af byggeprojektet Støvring Bytorv i samarbejde med Kuben Management, hvor der udarbejdes en result chain og et logframe, gennemføres interessent-, problem- og målanalyser, og formuleres en praktisk M&E-plan. Planen beskriver indikatorer, datakilder, balancen mellem kvantitative og kvalitative data, triangulering, indikator- og risikolog, feedbackmekanismer samt rapportering. Derudover integreres Byggeriets Evaluerings Center (BEC) og dets Construction Rating-system med nøglepræstationsindikatorer (KPI’er) som benchmark for kvalitet og effektivitet for at sikre en gennemsigtig proces for klienten. Afhandlingen fremhæver, at systematisk M&E i alle projektfaser kan understøtte tidlig fejlopdagelse, reducere omarbejde, omkostninger og forsinkelser og dermed styrke kvaliteten; den peger også på kommunikationsudfordringer mellem aktører som en praktisk barriere. Af det tilgængelige uddrag fremgår ingen kvantificerede effekter eller detaljerede empiriske resultater; afhandlingens hovedbidrag er et anvendeligt, RBME-baseret styrings- og dokumentationsgrundlag for kvalitet og transparens i subsidierede byggeprojekter.
This master’s thesis examines how subsidised construction projects can be monitored and evaluated to provide a transparent process for clients while meeting quality requirements. The core research question is: Which factors impede quality, and how can a results-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system improve transparency and performance? The study draws on a literature review and applies frameworks and tools including Result Based Management (RBM), Result Based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBME), Project Cycle Management, Theory of Change, and the Logical Framework Approach. These are operationalised in a case study of the Støvring Bytorv project in collaboration with Kuben Management, through development of a result chain and logframe, stakeholder/problem/objective analyses, and the formulation of a practical M&E plan. The plan specifies indicators and sources, balances quantitative and qualitative data with triangulation, and defines indicator tracking, risk logs, feedback and complaints mechanisms, and reporting. The thesis also integrates Byggeriets Evaluerings Center (BEC) and its Construction Rating system with key performance indicators (KPIs) as benchmarks to document quality and efficiency and to ensure client transparency. It argues that systematic M&E throughout the project cycle can support early defect detection, reduce rework, costs and delays, and thereby strengthen quality, while noting communication challenges between stakeholders as a practical barrier. Specific quantified effects or empirical outcomes are not reported in the available excerpt; the main contribution presented here is a usable RBME-based framework and plan to support quality and transparency in subsidised construction projects.
