BUILDING CONDITION ASSESSMENT (A CASE STUDY OF NIIT ZARIA)

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

Infrastructural development with well planned

maintenance is one of major characteristics of a

developed nation. That is why in many developed

nations there is a huge presence of several well

maintained infrastructures like sky scrapers, tall

buildings etc. Infrastructural development and

maintenance plays a great role in the socio-economic

growth of a nation. Many developed nations invest on

infrastructure and depend on it as a source of revenue

for their economy. Hence they take maintenance of

these infrastructures seriously. Countries like Dubai use infrastructure to attract tourists to their nation and this in turn yield revenue for the country [1]. The United Kingdom, Canada, United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, France, Japan, China, Hong Kong have many developed educational institutions with adequate infrastructure which is one of the reasons why many Nigerians troop into these countries, spend a lot of money to acquire education [1]. This in turn generates huge revenue for these countries. However routine infrastructural maintenance has been an Achilles in many Nigerian public institutions due to poor funding, misuse of facility by occupants, bribery and corruption etc. [2]. Construction projects in Nigeria are worth billions of Naira. It is of great importance that construction management practices is given great

otherwise, it will negatively affect the management of the infrastructure. Public buildings are allowed to dilapidate to unusable levels before maintenance plans are made to preserve its economic value and durability. Sometimes such buildings are left without any form of maintenance for a long time and these leads to total overhaul and reconstruction of the previously constructed project, resulting in a serious economic waste [1]. According to [5], many institutions carry out infrastructure development through PPP but measurable indicators to success or otherwise do not exist. Maintenance can be defined as every action taken to preserve an infrastructure in its original state so that it will retain its economic value and durability [1]. According to [3], there are two types of maintenance, the planned and unplanned maintenance.

Planned Maintenance consists of preventive

maintenance, corrective/emergence maintenance.

Under preventive maintenance we have scheduled

maintenance and conditioned maintenance. However,

unplanned maintenance consists of

corrective/emergence maintenance.

In this research work, public buildings to be

investigated are the staff residential buildings,

student’s hostels, classrooms and offices in the

NIIT Zaria.

1.2 Statement of Problem

Erecting infrastructure without a functional

maintenance plan or policy for it poses a great danger

for the occupant and leads to serious economic loss.

According to previous studies on infrastructural

maintenance, many infrastructural facilities in public

institutions in Nigeria are inadequately maintained. The

few that are maintained are allowed to dilapidate

completely without any sustainable maintenance plan.

Consequent upon this, many infrastructures in public

institutions are fast losing their economic value and at

the same time putting the life of the occupants in

danger. In NIIT Zaria , there seems

that infrastructural maintenance plan is not in place,

also the existing public infrastructural buildings have

been dilapidating at a rather fast rate. Such that if no

infrastructural maintenance scheme or plan is

developed and implemented the University will soon

suffer a huge disastrous infrastructural damage. This

research therefore will access the dilapidation of these

infrastructural facilities. It is hoped that from this

study, an infrastructural building maintenance plan will

be developed.

1.3 Objectives of the Study:

The aim of this research is to investigate the

current state of public buildings within the

NIIT Zaria.

The specific aims:

To assess the current maintenance practices in

Nigeria.

iii. To develop a framework for building maintenance

in Nigeria.

To make intelligent suggestions, contributions and

recommendations towards the adoption of

effective maintenance framework that would

address the building maintenance problems in

NIIT Zaria.

To generate reserved data/ records for future

maintenance investigations.

1.4 Justification of the Study

This research will contribute to knowledge and theory

of sustainable maintenance of infrastructure. It will also

investigate factors that negatively affect maintenance of

public buildings and proffer solutions to the problems.

This research will also assist authorities of public

institutions in Nigeria to know the current state of their

structures and dangers of using deteriorated and badly

damaged facilities.

The importance of maintaining good health and safety

in relation to good building maintenance practices will

also be captured in this research work.
