Item Post-project Reviews in Construction(Faculty of Engineering, University of Ilorin, 2019) Oyewobi, L.O.; Jimoh, R.A.; Suleiman, Bolaji; John, M.Stakeholders accepted that post-project reviews are useful, but many organisations find it difficult 10 conduct it in a consistent way. However, it takes time to review lessons learnt on construction projects to prevent future negative occurrences. Sharing of the knowledge gained in the process will promote better sustainable construction practices within the industry. The purpose of this study is to assess the post-project review (PPR) systems used by selected stakeholders on 'construction projects in Abuja, Nigeria. The research adopted the quantitative approach with a well-structured questionnaire administered to 168 participants. The study established that the knowledge management technique is the post-project review system currently practised towards capturing project knowledge and experiences. Ego and pride of team members towards participating in the process was found to be a major obstacle inhibiting the process despite the acceptance from participants that it facilitates collective learning, prevents knowledge loss and reduces reoccurring errors. Due to the limited participation of stakeholders in post-project review process, project performance has not been able to meet the performance criteria of time, budget and scope set. The study recommended the consideration of other available post-project review approaches or techniques to capturing project knowledge and experiences by stakeholders, and the expansion of the role of the prime consultant on projects to accommodate initiating and leading the facilitating of post-project reviews in line with global best practices. The findings from this research will be invaluable to all construction stakeholders to fully understand the significance of PPRs in enhancing sustainable construction.Item The Professional's Duty of Care(Journal of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, University of Jos, 2009) Suleiman, Bolaji; Olokooba, S.M.The legal requirement of duty of care from Professionals is uncompromiseable. This paper seeks to examine the level of such duty required by law from professionals that could be said to have satisfied the minimum standard requirement of the law. An attempt will be made to critically appraise the acts that constitute negligence in Tort for Quantity Surveyor with in1 view to proffering available defences in such circumstancesItem Relationship between Workspace Utilization (WSU) and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in Offices of University Lecturers(Department of Civil Engineering, University of Ilorin, 2019) A.I., Jimoh; Suleiman, BolajiAcademic productivity and functional comfort of university lecturers have been subjects of concern to stakeholders in the Nigerian education sector. This study investigates the relationship between Workspace Utilisation (WSU) and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in offices of lecturers 111 threc Federal universities,-Objectives include determination of the extent to which lecturers use workspaces, the quality of indoor environment tor assigned acadern ic duties and the level of satisfaction felt by the lecturers. 360 questionnaires were administered, through purposivc sampling, to obtain perception of lecturers on WSU, IEQ and satisfaction with workspace. 169( 4 7) val id return cd questionnaires were analyzed using Means. ANOV A and Spearman correlation. Overall intensity of WSU by the university lecturers was 37.81 .Thcre was no significant difference between intensities of WSU amongst the three universities. Out of the 13 uses, WSU on formal Reading (42. 13), formal Writing, (40.94) and Internet surfing (40.19'Yo) ranked I SI, 2"d and 3'd respectively. Building integrity (5.83), Control facilities (5.47) and Size of work spa cc were the3 top ranking IEQ parameters. Weak positive correlations (0.1567, 0.1729, 0.1816, 0.1909 & 0.2534) were deduced on 6 out of the 91 relationships, between WSU and IEQ, investigated. Overall WSU of 37.81 , compares favourably with fairly good use category of the Space Management Group. Higher intensity could however be achieved through improved IEQ in workspaces. Retrofitting by Works and Maintenance unit of each university is recommended on contextual IEQ variables in order to raise level of comfort, intensity of WSU and academic productivity.
