Comparative Assessment Of Factors Affecting Cost Of Industrialized Building And Conventional Building System IN NIGERIA

Comparative Assessment Of Factors Affecting Cost Of Industrialized Building And Conventional Building System In Nigeria

Abstract

The main end of this exploration work is to compare the factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria. The exploration system used in collecting data was through the use of questionnaire administered to construction professionals in Nigerian construction assiduity. Seventy questionnaires were administered and fifty five were returned with response rate of 73. The instrument used in assaying data collected was relative significance indicator( RI!) to rank the factors affecting the two systems in Nigeria. From the analysis it was discovered that the major factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria were unstable government policy, shy manufacturing installations, high cost of outflow, vacuity of moxie, compass of work, suitable construction terrain, bureaucracy, accoutrements waste, high cost of construction, vacuity of land with relative significance indicator of0.82,0.8,0.79,0.78,0.77,0.76 independently. It was recommended that government should help in reducing the cost of structure factors, accoutrements , shops and outfit and they should also set an illustration of patronizing the industrialized structure system just as conventional structure system and they shouldn’t be too strict in policy timber. In conclusion the major factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria were unstable government policy, shy manufacturing installations, high cost of outflow, vacuity of moxie, compass of work, suitable construction terrain, high cost of construction, vacuity of land independently.

CHAPTER ONE

preface

Background of the study

Construction system is witnessing a translational change from a construction assiduity employing conventional construction to a more modernized and advanced system. Like apre-fabricated element system, sword framing system, block work and mould system and timber framing system in all similar system is known as industrialized structure system( IBS). In this new fashion of construction in order to increase the productivity of construction and ameliorate quality of work. The system can be used good construction, outfit, accoutrements and better design planning. This study is present and defined factual difference between conventional and bucolic structure system, which can give the necessary information on the structure cost comparison between the two systems. This study also addresses the structure cost comparison, further advantages and effective in between the two systems. similar provides the details erecting cost indicates which of the two are cheaper.

Conventional structure system is defined as factors of the structure that arepre-fabricated on point through the processes or timber/ plywood formwork installation, sword underpinning and cast institute. Conventional structure is substantially erected of corroborated concrete frames. The traditional construction system uses rustic formwork. It’s much more expensive for construction which includes labour, raw material, transportation and low speed of construction time.

Industrialized structure system is an advancement of the new construction technology in the Nigerian construction assiduity of moment. It’s an volition of construction that can change numerous aspects in erecting construction. The industrialized structure system is a construction system that’s erected using prefabricated factors and is totally done using machine, formworks and other forms of mechanical outfit. The factors are manufactured offsite and formerly completed will be delivered to construction spots for assembly and construction. It’s also can be interpreted as a system which factors is manufactured in plant and also installed on point grounded on the size and dimension of the element needed. likewise, systems in which concrete factors prefabricated at point or in plant are assemble to form the structure with minimum in situ concrete.

presently, the industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria has gradationally extensively used as a ultramodern system of construction. As an illustration, the industrialized structure system( IBS) and conventional structure system has been applied in several systems similar as Coca- Cola assiduity in FCT Abuja, Benue brewery assiduity in Benue state and Benue Cement Company in Yandev Gboko Federal Housing Authority Lugbe, Mass Housing Construction FCT Abuja, and domestic structure in FCT Abuja etc. The perpetration of industrialized structure system( IBS) and conventional structure system in Nigeria is reducing the entrance of foreign labour and to expedite the progress of the construction.

The common types of industrialized structure system which are generally used in construction arepre-cast concrete architecture, panel and box systems, sword formwork system, sword framing system, prefabricated timber framing system, and block work system.

Industrialized structure system( IBS) has proven that it can contribute numerous advantages in construction design. The industrialized structure system( IBS) can reduce the number of unskilled and foreign workers on point. The presence of them can increase cost and destruction in construction assiduity.

Statement of the Problem

ABDULAZIZ( 2002) stated that the cost of industrialized structure system for medium and utmost low rise casing has been advanced than that of traditional/ conventional erected lodging though the shells were erected more snappily. Hence there’s advanced cost in industrialized structure compared with conventional structures it becomes relative that the factor affecting the two structure system must be penetrated to proffer result for the cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system.

The need for the exploration

The need for this exploration is to critically compare and penetrated the factors which directly or laterally affect the cost of industrialized structure system, and conventional structure system and see if they could be controlled or avoided fully.

Aim and Objective

Aim

This exploration aims at assessing the factors affecting the cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system and to identify ways in which these factors can be controlled.

Objects

To identify the factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria.

To estimate factors affecting the cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria.

To establish the most important factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria.

compass and Limitation of the Study

comypass

The compass of this design work is grounded on the relative assessment of factors affecting cost of industrialized structure and conventional structure system in Nigeria.

Limitation

It has not been possible to conduct this exploration nationwide due to the limited time but the exploration only carried out in Civil capital home Abuja and Benue state.
