Effect Of The Use Of Sub-Standard Materials On Building Construction
The Effect Of The Use Of Sub-Standard Materials On Building Construction Project Material
Abstract
This study was carried out on the effect of the use of sub-standard materials on building construction using ministry of housing, Lagos State as a case study. The study was carried out to examine the reason for the use of sub standard material on a building project, evaluate the effect of the use of sub standard material for a building project, find out the relationship between construction stakeholders and the firmness of a building, evaluate the measures that can be put in place by the Lagos state ministry of housing to prevent the collapse of a building. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprised of staffs of ministry of housing, Lagos State. In determining the sample size, the researcher purposefully selected 147 respondents and 141 were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables, and mean scores. While the hypotheses was tested chi-square statistical tool. The result of the findings reveals that the reason for the use of sub standard material on a building project includes: insufficient financing, high expectation from awardees of the contract, lack of technical know how, poor budget reviews, corruption and unethical practices by the suppliers. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a relationship between construction stakeholders and the firmness of a building.Therefore,it is recommended that in order to promote the use of quality materials for the construction of residential buildings, stakeholders should engage professionals and refrain from patronizing quacks and workers without professional competence in the science and technology of building and construction materials. To mention but a few.
