Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) Effect on Sustainability Assessment and Management: A Case of Construction Companies in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana

This study explores the application of Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) for sustainability assessment in Ghanaian construction companies.Construction activities significantly impact the environment, peoples and places and effective PMIS may facilitate their sustainable practices.The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PMIS use in sustainable construction project management by adopting a document review approach.A thorough review of 252 construction companies using probability random sampling and convenient sampling in the greater Accra regional area is conducted.With these documents, 211 of them integrated PMIS in their project sustainable management plan, focusing on its role in enhancing transparency, accountability, and decision-making.The resulting data is analyzed with the application of Odd Ratio Test, Relative Risk, Sensitivity analysis, Specificity analysis and chi square test of independence.The results revealed that PMIS tools adoption is not related to project sustainable management success in greater Accra region even though, it significantly improves data accuracy and timelines, enabling a proactive sustainable monitoring and reporting, timely identification and the mitigation of adverse effects.The study concludes that although, the strategic use of PMIS can contribute to sustainable construction practices as suggested by the relative risk value (RR=0.8494),ultimately supporting the achievement of sustainability goals, its use is not related to the successful assessment and management of construction projects in the greater Accra region of Ghana since the chi square test statistic of 7.716 is less than the critical statistic of 18.301at p = 0.05.
