Abstract:

Several adverse reports on quality performance drive the need to assess quality management practice in the Nigerian construction industry. Incidences of building failures and in extreme cases, building collapse have been attributed to poor quality management among other factors. This paper assesses the quality management practices of Nigerian construction firms intending to suggest appropriate courses of action for improving quality performance. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to management staff in 20 construction firms in Abuja, Nigeria. Findings from the study show t

Abstract:

Sustainable building rating tools (SBRTs) are essential for assessing the environmental impact of buildings, continuously evolving to meet the needs of users. In Nigeria, the effectiveness of these tools depends on their ability to meet the country’s sustainable building standards and environmental goals. While adopting sustainable building rating tools is crucial for realizing the benefits of sustainable construction, little is known about their actual utilization in the Nigerian construction industry. This research aims to (1) assess the level of awareness and utilization of sustainable buil

Abstract:

Abstract Lean construction practices have been adopted in the building industry to address issues of cost and time overruns and material waste, which are crippling the growth and development of the industry. However, the implementation of Lean Practices (LPs) have been identified to be low due to some factors that limiting its adoption. Therefore, there is a need to identify factors that could encourage LPs adoption in the Nigerian building industry towards acquiring its numerous benefits. Thus, this study examined such factors that can encourage the successful implementation of LPs in Nigeria

Abstract:

Deferment in the course of building formation and construction projects is an aspect of the shared situations in the formation stage of the building industry, several factors like timing, availability of raw material, delay in down payment, and readiness of finance, construction goodwill and building logistics. This study is aimed at determining the prime roots of deferments in the formation stage of building projects in South-eastern Nigeria. Research study approach was engaged throughout the sampled urban areas in South-eastern Nigeria, for instance: Aba, Abakalikki, Owerri, and Awka. 150 co

AbstractIn 1964, the newly established Hong Kong-based Cha Group partnered with the Northern Nigerian Regional Development Corporation to open the United Nigerian Textiles Limited (UNTL) mill in Kaduna – the largest textile mill in Northern Nigeria. The Cha Group later expanded, building textile mills in other parts of the country. Both Chinese and Nigerian managers and workers were involved in UNTL mills, which by 1980 provided printed cotton textiles for the Nigerian market and for other markets in West Africa. Yet this Chinese–Nigeria collaboration could not overcome factors external to the

AbstractGrowing demands for building projects result from economic development. The building industry is dynamic and multifaceted. Efficient and effective practice of building production management (BPM) is required to successfully execute projects and achieve project goals upon completion as well as functionality aims for the lifespan of a building. This research aims to determine factors that influence the BPM practice in the Nigerian construction industry, particularly; during the project execution phase.

Abstract:

Many studies have been conducted on the poor performance of the construction industry. Nigeria’s construction industry has been linked to project delays and cost overruns, leading to many abandoned construction projects throughout the country. These issues are largely attributed to inadequate project management practices and the underutilization of project managers. To address these challenges, an institutional analysis was conducted to examine the factors, within the institutional framework of the Nigerian construction industry, that hinder the effective utilization of project managers and th

We sought to identify and examine the critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for incorporating cyber technology into residential building projects to augment operational performance and sustainability. An iterative two-stage approach was adopted to explore the phenomena under investigation. General CSFs for cyber technology were first identified from the extant literature, and subsequently explored using primary questionnaire survey data accrued from professionals within the Nigerian building industry. The survey results illustrated that the availability of sensors, good communication netwo

Abstract:

Structural failures and the total collapse of mid-rise residential buildings are common phenomena in Nigeria. The rate at which buildings collapse in Nigeria, the frequency of this occurrence, and the magnitude of the losses which are recorded in terms of lives and properties, are becoming alarming. Such incidents are reaching an unprecedented level and have become a major source of concern, not only to the government at all levels but to all stakeholders involved. This paper identifies and examines structural building regulatory implementation and enforcement practices, focusing on stakeholde

Abstract:

Generally, buildings provide society with countless benefits, however, they also have major negative impacts on the environment. Hence, Green Buildings (GB) have been proposed to solve this issue as they adopt fewer harmful materials and enable the use of local materials to adapt to climate conditions while consuming natural renewable resources with an emphasis on environmental sustainability. However, there is the dearth of researches that focus on the types of GB materials that could be adopted in the Nigerian construction industry. Hence, this research aim at finding out available materials
