Abstract: The delivery of a construction project is characterized by the participation of several individuals. Owner, architect, engineer, and contractor are the most important players of this process. Multiple prime is one type of delivery system that is the subject of many discussions in the industry. General contractors, architects and owners believe that this system inherently has coordination problems. On the other side, specialty contractors believe that this system has several advantages because of the exclusion of the middleman and the direct relationship of these contractors to the owner. The goal of this study is to objectively analyze the performance of construction delivery systems within the County of Kisumu in Nyanza province. The schools in the districts of Nyando, Nyakach, Kisumu East, Kisumu West, and Kisumu North form the population of this study. Quantitative and qualitative measurements are used as the variables for comparison. ANOVA and two-sample t- tests are used as statistical tools for the quantitative and, the Chi-Square test is used for the qualitative analysis. The data collected is divided into two different sets. The first set includes all the valid responses. The second set is limited to the analysis of projects greater than Ksh. 5,000,000 and the data obtained is not significant to this study. A section with the descriptive statistics of litigation cases is also included in this study.
