| description | This study examined the extent to which Nigerian construction professional groups
are equipped with relevant degree-specific knowledge in project management practice. A
survey was employed, in which 60 construction project managers based in Lagos, Nigeria
were selected using the snowball sampling technique. Data were analysed using descriptive
statistics. The findings indicate that construction project managers are proficient in
construction technology, project planning and control and contract administration, while
they are deficient in information technology, marketing, accounting and finance and
human and industrial relations. The quantity surveyors' group and the builders' group are the
most equipped, whereas the civil engineers' group is the least equipped in terms of
background education to practise project management. The study can be used as a guide
by clients when engaging built environment professionals to aid in construction project
management. The current study provides insight into proficiency and highlights the
deficiencies of the various built environment professionals in the management of
construction projects. |
