Abstract
The growing concern for housing in developing countries, where the need for housing far exceeds the supply offered by the public authorities, has encouraged the development and growth of self-construction in towns and cities. It is with this in mind that the informal and semi-informal sectors are being called upon by property developers wishing to study and carry out their projects according to the means available to them. The survey conducted in the semi-informal sector in the Republic of Congo confirms the existence of shortcomings in the management of construction projects in developing countries. Contractors, engineers and architects are at the heart of most residential construction projects. Most projects are financed by the property developers' own funds. Labour productivity on building sites varies from one project to another, and delays in delivery caused by poor project planning, scarcity of financial resources or poor project management are often recorded.

Keywords
Construction, semi-informal sector, planning, project, management.
