Roads were constructed using locally available lateritic materials, graded aggregate or water bound macadam basecourse materials and typically surfaced with a sprayed seal. Mortared masonry or concrete drainage structures were also constructed where required. The majority of the work was carried out using labour-based methods under direct supervision, and contractors were also used.

The project was implemented with Local Government Authorities, the Eastern Provincial Council and the Ministry of Provincial Councils.

* Management of 4 Senior National Engineers and 8 Junior Engineers/Technical Officers as well as non-staff Technical Officers and Supervisors for planning, document preparation and construction of labour-based works (65 contracts, 125km, $6M);
* Selection of suitable roads following an Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP) study;
* Liaison with local councils and community groups with regards to road selection, construction plans and requirements, ensuring fair representation and distribution of work to all ethnic groups where necessary;
* Mobilisation of communities to carry out the work, including ensuring all people who wanted to work were given a fair opportunity to do so;
* Preparation of Bills of Quantity and controlling costs to construct within the budget at a time when inflation caused many changes in transport costs, which affects both material and labour inputs;
* Planning of construction sequence including timely allocation of resources (machinery, materials and personnel);

* Setting up office and hiring local staff;
