Abstract

The fala house is one of the traditional houses of the Abui tribe in Alor which is also known as a warehouse house. This building is ± 16 m high and consists of 4 floors with functions as a residence, barn, and storage area for heirlooms. This building's design and dimensions are also tailored to withstand the frequent high winds and earthquakes in the Alor region. To provide the Alor community as a whole with literature and a reference for creating disaster-resistant dwellings, this study intends to investigate the fala house construction system. An ethnographic design in conjunction with an exploratory description is the methodology employed to examine the Fala House's construction system. One of Takpala Village's thirteen fala homes serves as the research item. Purposive sampling was used to identify the home of the village chief, who served as the resource person, to choose this item. While secondary data was gathered through a review of the literature, primary data was acquired through close inspection and recording of the artifacts as well as technical information on workmanship and local names of fala house construction through interviews. According to research, the Fala house is built using a traditional method in which the main pillar is buried directly in the ground. The attic pillars that rest on the main beam are braced and connected to the building using a tie system. Because fala houses are built with a building method that can withstand shocks from earthquakes and severe winds, they have withstood a lengthy time of disaster adaptation and are still standing today.

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a popular subject amongst professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As Nigeria develops technologically, the use of building information modeling (BIM) in delivery of building and infrastructure projects cannot be overemphasized, as it is a well-known innovative approach in project design and construction. Building information modeling (BIM) is a process of developing a virtual equivalent of the actual building that supports data exchange, management and communication during the whole building’s life cycle. The BIM software gives a digital representation of how the building will be after construction. This study provide insight into Building Information Modelling (BIM) Usage among construction professionals in Lagos State. The study adopted a pragmatic research technique that uses both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Qualitative (secondary) data were extracted from literature and analyzed by content analysis. While quantitative (primary) data were gathered with a structured questionnaire. The primary data were collected from 252 construction professionals in the study area. This study considered level of awareness of BIM, and extent of usage of BIM in the Nigerian building construction industry; respondents’ perceived benefits of building information modeling (BIM); BIM Usage rates among construction Professionals in Lagos State; Challenges Impeding the Adoption and Usage of BIM in construction industry, Respondents’ perceived barriers to the adoption of BIM in the Nigerian construction industry. A total number of 300 questionnaires were administered systematically to professionals in Lagos, resulting in 252 valid responses analyzed for the purpose of the study. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) – Version 20 and Microsoft Analysis. Descriptive analysis techniques, such as frequency, percentage, mean item score, and relative importance index (RII). As a contribution to knowledge, the paper has established that there is a high level of knowledge of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Nigerian Construction Industry which is associated to the high level of awareness and utilization amongst stakeholders. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to promote BIM adoption in Nigeria, including financial incentives, training programs, and awareness campaigns. This study underscores the potential of BIM to revolutionize the Nigerian construction industry by addressing inefficiencies and improving project delivery outcomes.

Abstract

In general, injuries have been related to different elements and parts of the home environment. That is home injury is potentially connected with primary parts of the home environment. Home wounds might result from different, simultaneous and united causes including physical, underlying, environmental, conduct, way of life, and social variables. Home injury depicts the sorts of injuries that happen in the home and its prompt environmental elements. This study examined housing elements and potential home injury risks in selected public housing estates in Lagos State, Nigeria with a view to informing design decisions for safer housing. This study aims to explore the housing elements—both architectural and environmental—that may contribute to home injury risks in selected public housing estates in Lagos State. By identifying key risk factors, the study hopes to inform policy interventions and promote safer residential environments. Systematic sampling method was employed to select 315 housing units from 8938 units in 3 purposively selected low-income estates (the largest) for questionnaire administration. Ethical approval and clearance were sought from a recognized research ethics review board/committee. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants and confidentiality and anonymity will be strictly maintained. Findings revealed that housing plays a critical role in public health and wellbeing, especially in rapidly urbanizing cities like Lagos, Nigeria. While public housing estates are established to provide affordable shelter, poor design, substandard construction, and inadequate maintenance may contribute to unintentional injuries at home. Injuries such as falls, burns, electric shocks, and poisoning often go underreported, especially in low-income communities, yet they significantly affect quality of life and productivity. The study recommended Policy and Planning (Integrating injury prevention into housing design standards); Maintenance Protocols (Regular inspections and quick repairs); Community Education (workshops on home safety) and Design Improvements (Use of non-slip materials, better lighting, child-proofing measures. The study concluded by emphasizing the link between poor housing design/maintenance and injury risk, and highlights the need for government and stakeholders to prioritize safe, habitable housing.

Abstract

The study examined the interface problems in construction project stages among professionals in Lagos State, Nigeria. Primary information was obtained through structured questionnaire. The target population were construction professionals who had experienced interface problems at both the design and construction stages of projects in Lagos State. A total of two hundred and sixty (260) copies of completed questionnaire were retrieved through online and physical administration using snowball sampling technique for selection of respondents. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Findings revealed that the interface problems at the design stage are; inadequate specification of project data, problem of spotting component clashes at the beginning of design phase, difficulty in obtaining complete project documents leading to late issuance of some designs, design complexity, badly written contract documents, and too many adjustments whenever there is changes in designs while inadequate specialized quality-control team, serious doubting and ambiguity of interface conflicts, lack of system informing about new project data, bad value of construction, complicated construction process, incapability to forecast and bring resolution to challenges connected to new construction technological methods, financial and technical status of the constructor, poor communication among project team members and change based on instruction or command are the interface problems at the construction stage.
