Title: IMPACT OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY ON COMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PROJECT COST MANAGEMENT IN ABUJA Authors: OLANIYI, KEHINDE; MAKINDE, JOSEPH Abstract: Abuja's ever-growing real estate industry is facing pressure to manage project costs effectively due to inefficient project budget issues, cost overruns, lack of transparency and project delays. Hence, this study assessed the influence of blockchain technology on project cost management (PCM) of commercial real estate in Abuja by evaluating the challenges undermining project cost management and blockchain technology, the perception relating to the nexus between different blockchain attributes and their utility in resolving identified project cost management challenges, and the challenges of Blockchain adoption in commercial real estate PCM. The data for this study were obtained with the aid of questionnaires administered to Abuja chapters of the Nigerian Institution of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS) and Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria (CIPMN). One hundred and Thirteen (113) and sixty-seven (67) questionnaires administered to the Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers were retrieved, representing a response rate of 77.4% and 67% respectively, and a total response rate of 73.17%.

Title: ASSESSING THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (QMP) AFFECTING BUILDING PROJECTS DELIVERY IN NIGERIA: A LITERATURE REVIEW APPROACH (2019 – 2023) Authors: DAYLOP, TIMOTHY; MAKINDE, JOSEPH Abstract: The issue of Quality Management Practices (QMP) in the Nigerian construction industry remains integral to the better performances required in delivery of construction projects. This is due to the need to avoid defects, reworks and its attendant effect and cost on the construction organizations and construction professionals undertaken the delivery of projects. As a result, this study undertakes a review of QMP affecting building project delivery in Nigeria between 2019 and 2023. The outcome suggests that the topmost factors affecting the QMP encompass customer focus, process improvement, continuous improvement, conformance, and durability. This study recommended that the implementation phase of the project should include the adoption of effective measures for total quality management, as there should be ongoing evaluation of contractors and their organizations to assess their adherence to quality standards set by regulatory bodies and government agencies. This is necessary to reduce the occurrence of building defects, avoidance of reworks and possible collapse.

Title: SUSTAINABILITY OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS IN NIGERIA: A PROJECT MANAGER’S PERSPECTIVE Authors: MAKINDE, JOSEPH; OKE, ABDULGANIYU; BELGORE, USMAN Abstract: Sustainability of residential estate projects is a major concern of construction stakeholders which should be a continuous process by successive administration in Nigeria irrespective of the party affiliation. The study explores the Project Manager‘s perspective in the delivery of the residential development in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Three objectives were examined which include (i) the Project Managers‘ perception on their own performance on the residential estate development (ii) the factors driving project managers‘ performance and (iii) strategies on enhancing the performance of Project Managers. Data were collected from 26 project managers on residential estates projects using close – ended - designed questionnairesand were analysed through descriptive statistical methods (Mean Score and Relative Importance Index). Historical project data was also obtained on 22 residential estate projects, and was analysed using Percentage analysis. The results of the data analysis were presented using tables and charts. Findings from data analysis revealed that Project Managers rated themselves high in ten competencies and moderate in six competencies that include Budgeting, Risk management, and Emotional intelligence. The competencies of PMsthat had the strongest influence on project quality performance,the‗commitment of project stakeholders to sustainable construction‘ and ‗Lack of teamwork‘ were identified as the key driver and barrier respectively of project managers‘ performance. As a strategy to enhance performance, the study recommended that real estate development firms should identify how they can leverage the Attitude, Finance, Government Policy, Knowledge, Management, Stakeholder and Technology factors to improve project performance in the short, medium and long term.
