Steady Resource Selection Model for Housing Projects in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
One of the primary indicators of any country’s level of development is the volume of decent housing stock provided for her citizenry. This could be done by government agencies and the private investors as noticed in many developing countries. Interest of governments of developing countries in this respect is high to attract support from both the public and other development partners. Events of the past show that, housing delivery is pioneered by host governments and their agencies alone in most. The situation is not different in Nigeria, with over 80million in search of decent accommodation. The direct interventionist policy of the Nigerian government have been restricted to the initiation of policy guidelines, leaving the on-site assembly of project resources and its attendant challenges to the direct initiative of developers. Available data shows that a total of NGN4.5billion was spent between the first and fourth development plans with forest of uncompleted projects. The existence of numerous slums in our cities and overcrowding in many homes tells the story that decent accommodation is expensive to provide and beyond the reach of the low-income group. The singular focus of government in initiating policy guidelines and the inability of those who manages the production process of housing units to establish the optimum resource requirement and utilization in the construction process have added more injury to the high cost of housing production. This paper is therefore aimed at determining the resource selection criteria that will optimize resources for housing delivery in Nigeria
