| description | Due to the alarming rate of building collapse, this study assesses building control
practices in Lagos state. It examines the effectiveness of building control practices, and it
also identifies the factors limiting the capacity of building control practices. To achieve these
objectives, quantitative techniques were used in which 61 questionnaires were distributed to
selected professionals from contracting firms within the built environment. The sample was
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data collected were processed using
mean item score, percentage and ANOVA. The study revealed that not all building control
measures were thoroughly observed. It was discovered from the findings that, aside from the
measure of processing and scrutinising the building plans for approval, which was duly
observed, no other measures were observed, and they are all equally significant. The study
also identifies factors that impede adherence to building control practices, such as
corruption and the bureaucratic process, which were ranked highest. Hypothesis testing
revealed that there is no significant difference among the professionals in their perception of
the effectiveness of building control practices. In conclusion, this study recommends regular
auditing of the activities of building control agencies due to the prevalence of corruption
cases among their members. |
