Title: ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES FOR SUCCESSIVE DELIVERY OF INTERNAL ELECTRICAL BUILDING SERVICE IN ABUJA, NIGERIA Authors: ADAMU, DANTALA; MAKINDE, JOSEPH Abstract: Architectural drawings for residential buildings such as those of bungalows and duplexes are not usually accompanied with its corresponding detailed electrical drawings which have led cost engineers such as quantity surveyors/estimators to find a way of determining the cost of electrical services through the use of provisional sums which is more of a guess work. The study developed a cost model in determining cost impact of electrical services in residential buildings in Abuja. Quantitative research techniques were adopted. The study made use of architectural and electrical drawings which involved the generation of the priced bill of quantities from 33 drawings (architectural and electrical), current market prices and site-observed productivity constants for the development of the cost model for electrical installation cost for residential buildings. The findings show the coefficient of determination R2 is 0.172; this shows that the equation is statistically insignificant and so therefore the gross floor area should not be used to estimate the final sub-circuits cost of residential electrical installations work. The findings recommends that floor area is not a good cost predictor of final sub-circuit cost and should therefore not be used in estimating for residential electrical installation costing.

Title: Evaluation of Factors Affecting Contractor Health and Safety Performance of Construction Projects in Abuja Authors: ABDULLAHI, YAKUBU; MAKINDE, JOSEPH Abstract: Abstract The occurrence of incidents or accidents at construction sites have caused numerous drawbacks of project performance, such as increase in project cost, delay in completion of project, and reduce productivity and creating negative impressions about the business.The study determined the factors influencing health and safety performance and evaluated contractors health and safety management practices on construction projects. A well-structured questionnaire was employed using purposive sampling in the selection of contractors who managed and supervised ongoing and completed building projects in Abuja. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics (frequencies and mean score). Result revealed that implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), implementation of safe working environment and system of work and inefficient safety training and enforcement systems with mean score of 4.36, 4.35 and 4.31 respectively, are the factors influencing health and safety performance on construction projects. Result on the health and safety management practiced mostly performed by contractors on construction projects were Personal Protective Equipment, safety communication, emergency response plan and first aid and welfare facilities with an average percentage of 94.23, 88.46 and 86.54 respectively. It was concluded that for an improvement in safety performance adequate attention should be given to the identified factors. It is anticipated that stakeholder’s awareness of the important factors and elements affecting safety will be enlighten and will result to dynamic efforts to reduce accidents on site.

Title: DEVELOPMENT OF AGILE PRODUCTIVITY METRICS OF INDIVIDUAL EXPERT JAVASCRIPT DEVELOPERS FOR SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGERS Authors: ABDULGAFAR, ABUBAKAR; MAKINDE, JOSEPH; AJIBOYE, JOHNSON; AJIBOYE, MARY Abstract: Software Project Managers require metrics to measure productivity in the teamwork. Since agile software development require continuous improvement, metrics helps in identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies thereby enabling teams to refine their processes iteratively. Productivity metrics also helps in effective resources allocation and optimization to ensure timely delivery of software products by software project managers.

Title: THE CRITICAL ROLE OF STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNICATION IN ACHIEVING SUCESSFUL PROJECT DELIVERY Authors: MUSBAU, ABDULRAHEEM; MAKINDE, JOSEPH Abstract: The increasing complexity of a project coupled with the growing number of stakeholders involved and stakeholder engagement can face significant challenges including project creep, delays and cost overrun. Despite the growing body of research on stakeholder engagement, communication in project management, further studies are needed to explore the relationship among the stakeholders.
