AN INVESTIGATION INTO BUILD OPERATE AND TRANSFER IN THE PROVISION OF HOSTELS
ABSTRACT
Building construction project has become an everyday issue, and this involves the spending of hard earned money by the project owner called the client. The expectation of the owner of any building project is justification of good project delivery. This is enabled by the objectives of the project which definitely includes project cost that envelopes the cost and quality of delivery at the expected time.
The major issue, is the project cost which dictates its success. Project cost variance has been affecting the speedy and successful delivery of building construction projects. The key fact in this study method was to collect and analyse public building project cost estimates containing building components, which includes preliminaries, substructure, superstructure, mechanical/electrical, external works and contingency in the bill of quantity (BOQ) from projects handled by Education Trust Fund(ETF) in the tertiary institutions located in Kaduna, Kwara, Kogi and Abuja from 2009 to 2010.
The study adopted mean component cost method modeled by Skitmore and Ng (2002) to determine the projected cost variance of the Lecture Theatres and Lecture Rooms handled by the organization in various tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The analysis of the data collected was made by using standard method of analysis which employs SPSS for the project costs.Skitmore and Ng (2002) model was employed to test the variability of the project cost data. The result shows that; the building component cost data 4782.50 had closer link to the mean 4773.92(mean) for preliminaries component column in project ID 4 of Lecture.
Theatre and another component data 2797.62 is also close to 2312.91(mean) for Ext.Wkscolumn in project ID 7 for the Lecture Theatre building projects butfor the Lecture Classrooms building the preliminaries column had 1531.41 and 1416.33(mean) in project ID 2 and 1611.22 and 1673..58(mean) for M/E column for project ID 5. This project therefore concludes in addition to the results of the cost variances, that the lecture theatre and classrooms projects are underestimated.Interview was also conducted on the professional estimators in building industry. Moreover significant differences exist among the components in those public buildings.
The analytical calculation shows that the correct variance for an average lecture theatre project from this research was found to be 34.73%. The sample analyzed had shown that the correct variance of the class room was found to be 38. 50%. Therefore lecture theatre is observed to be a better building project than the class room building. The study recommends the need to minimize the occurrence of the overrun by thoroughly crosschecking the initial estimate and addressing other technical issues before the contract is awarded. It also recommends the employment of the mean component cost method of analysis and setting of a committee to properly scrutinize the estimate.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
In the building construction industry, it is a formal procedure to determine the initial cost of a building project before awarding the contract. This is in order to ascertain the financial level of the client whether the project is worth undertaking. The underlyingfact is because of the instability of the market prices of material, labour and equipment which are the major tools involved in the construction.
The wave of project production cost variability in the recent time calls for a concern in the building industry. If a building project cost estimate is presented for tender and the contractor gives his quotations, with all necessary adjustment made and contract is awarded, it is not likely that the agreed contract price will still be the final project cost at completion. The final project cost is often found to be higher at completion.
There are many factors leading to the changes in the final cost. Giwa (1998) had stated that the effect of change between the initial and the final cost incurred constitute a major problem in the building industry, especially between the client and estimator. This cost differential is called cost variance in the building construction industry. Cost variance is significant for general cost planning, and can be a big problem to solve by the managers in the building industry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the material for “Global Financial Crises and Capital Flows; Evidence From West African Monetary Zone” be used as a guide for Economics Project?
Yes it can be used — The impact of foreign capital inflows on the economic growth of sub-Saharan Africa, with emphasis on West African Monetary Zone, WAMZ member countries was studied using panel Data Regression Models and Hausman Test. Outcomes of the study revealed that there is positive and significant relationship between capital flows and the level of economic growth in West African Monetary Zone. Foreign direct investment (FDI) as capital flows variable has inverse relationship with the economic growth in the region, while other capital flows variables such as foreign private investment (PPI), overseas development Assistance (ODA) and economic Migrant’s remittance are positively and statistically significant in the long run. In conclusion, most of the investment inflows into sub-Saharan- Africa were based on speculations targeted …

Can the material for “Impact of Exchange Rate Policy on Non-Oil Exports in the Nigerian Economy (1999-2014)” be used as a guide for Economics Project?
Yes it can be used — The decline of non-oil exports has had adverse effect on the economy. Since 1986, the federal government has formulated policies to enhance non-oil exports, put in place incentives and institutional support framework effective implementation. This paper examines these policies to investigate the extent to which the exchange rate can boost non-oil exports especially agricultural, manufactured and mining exports. This paper is derived from the recognition that the country’s current economic predicament is partly a product of her over reliance on the oil sector for foreign exchange earnings.
