EFFECT
OF CONSTRUCTIONAL DEFECT ON THE RATE OF MAINTENANCE OF EDUCATION PROPERTIES
Poorly
designed buildings are more expensive to maintain. Besides, typical building
designs in Nigeria usually do not incorporate human factors engineering and
maintenance considerations. These design flaws makes facility maintenance of
these components to be expensive with much higher resource requirements and
could discourage the execution of (preventive) maintenance activities.
Poor
supervision and unauthorized changes in design during the building
infrastructure construction often distorts facility maintenance elements of the
design thus making the execution of the later after commissioning to be
cumbersome. Construction defaults are another source of the high cost of maintenance
which happens during the construction stage and because of construction
performance or material used.
Faulty
construction is one of the most common causes of early deterioration. Common
construction faults include inadequate compaction and failure to position the
reinforcement, so that it has adequate concrete cover. Under almost any
exposure conditions these faults will eventually reduce the service life of the
structure as a result of reinforcement rusting after the concrete has become
carbonated (Seeley, 1987).
As
known, the environment of construction is constantly changing and the
authorities actions continuously give new conditions. At the same time,
competition between companies may become stronger factor that leads the
contractor accept the bid with low margin of profit.Also, (Grosskopf & Lucas, 2008) Showed
that 69% of all construction defect claims in U.S. are related to moisture
penetration through the building envelope. It is injustice to beer this ratio
to construction defects lonely, because these defects that relate to moisture
penetration may result from using of bad insulation material or poor
implementation of these materials.
Defective
construction includes activities such as compaction not done to specifications,
which leads to ground movement and eventual failure of foundations. This may
lead to the complete failure of a structure (Zietsman, 2008).
Despite
decades of evolution of building infrastructure design, construction and
maintenance in Nigeria, the country is still faced with a myriad of fundamental
problems and challenges in the industry especially, in the property maintenance
business of educational infrastructure. The challenges can be grouped into the
following broad categories:
a)Socio-cultural
challenges: This is one of the biggest challenges
to effective facility maintenance of building infrastructure in Nigeria. It is
known that Nigerians generally have a poor maintenance culture. This has
contributed immensely to the prevailing neglect of property maintenance of
education building infrastructure in the tertiary institution. It is seen as a
waste of enterprise to spend resources maintaining a building unless
significant malfunctioning of any of its components occurs (Odediran S.J.,
Opatunji O.A. and Eghenure F.O, 2012).
b)Technical
challenges: There are several technical challenges
that have militated against effective facility maintenance of educational
infrastructure in Nigeria. These technical challenges include:
i.Building
design flaws: Poorly designed buildings are more
expensive to maintain. Besides, typical building designs in Nigeria usually do
not incorporate human factors engineering and maintenance considerations. These
design flaws makes facility maintenance of these components to be expensive
with much higher resource requirements and could discourage the execution of
(preventive) maintenance activities.
ii.Errors
during building construction: Poor supervision and
unauthorized changes in design during the building infrastructure construction
often distorts facility maintenance elements of the design thus making the
execution of the later after commissioning to be cumbersome.
iii.Poor
defect diagnostic ability and limited technical knowledge.
Professional facility management practice in Nigeria is still at its infancy
stage of development. There are very few professional facility managers and
facility management companies in Nigeria. Consequently, the required defect
diagnostic skill as well as overall technical knowledge for effective facility
maintenance of building infrastructure is still lacking amongst many people
currently involved in facility management practice of building infrastructure
in Nigeria.
iv.Weak
standards and poor enforcement of standards: Nigeria’s
building codes and laws are weak and needs improvement especially in the areas
of human factors engineering and the incorporation of facility maintenance
elements in building design. Improvements in the building codes and standards
needs to made and also dutifully enforced especially during building
construction.
v.Poor
quality of building materials: There is abundance of
fake and sub-standard building materials in Nigeria. This is partly responsible
for the relatively high failure mode of building infrastructure components in
Nigeria and the consequent high frequency of replacement of malfunctioning or
defective components. This has facility maintenance cost in the country to be
high and discouraging.
vi.Economic
challenges: Facility management cost of building
infrastructure in Nigeria is very high (because of the factors discussed
above). This tends to discourage the few people and mostly corporate
organizations that try to practice facility maintenance of buildings. The
preponderance of fake and sub-standards building materials, limited technical
knowledge of professional facility maintenance/management of building
infrastructure, frequent re-work, etc, have all contributed to reduce the
application and growth of facility maintenance of building infrastructure in
Nigeria.
EFFECT OF MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES ON FULL UTILIZATION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES IN AYALA HOTEL GARKI
ABSTRACT
Building maintenance is a subject that has to be considered seriously if building is to live up to its expected life span. This research is aimed at Assessing the Effect of Maintenance Strategies on the Full Utilization of recreational facilities with particular interest in Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja. The researcher adopts the use of questionnaire, personal observation and interviews to gather information/data for the purpose of the research. A set of 67 questionnaires was designed and distribute to the staffs and customers to establishment while 55 were duly filled and returned, therefore the 55 returned Questionnaire form the basis for data presentation and analysis. A descriptive statistical tool was used to analyse the data gathered to ascertain the effect of maintenance strategies on the full utilization of Ayala hotel. Based on the analysis, it was found that the major cause of maintenance problem were poor construction, lack of preventives and routine maintenance strategies, lack of funds, response time to maintain and usage since these factor are of post of human nature, the researcher therefore recommend that the establishment should adopt routine and preventive maintenance strategies to enable her utilize to the full potential of Ayala hotel and also reduce the cost of facilities management and maintenance.
Contents of the project
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Facility and equipment assets are a big investment in the hospitality industry, and the establishments need to get the most out of them. Recreational facilities maintenance is the performance of general, preventative and emergency maintenance for a given recreational facility. It involves a combination of actions carried out to retain an item, equipment, system, plant or machine in order to restore it to an acceptable working condition. Maintenance procedures are performed in guest rooms, lobbies, elevators and restroom areas to ensure all equipment and materials are in proper working order. Hotel buildings face constant and heavy traffic, so it’s important to keep everything running smoothly for the guests (Garg, 2006).
Generally, recreational are complex and costly when it comes to maintenance with various uses of spaces that have different schedules and uses for guest rooms‟ restaurants, health club, swimming pool, retail store and each has a functional engineering system required for its maintenance. Maintenance therefore has to be done throughout the year, requiring competent staff to undertake building services, operation and maintenance, supplemented by outsourced contractors. (Chan et al 2001; 2003). In the hospitality industry the maintenance of the engineering systems is important despite its complex processes as its effectiveness will directly affect the quality of hotel service, food, and beverage which have direct and significant effect on guests‟ impression of the hotel. (Chan et al 2001).
The maintenance of buildings is an integral part of property development and management. Anyone putting up a building without making provisions for its maintenance has destroyed that building up front without realizing it (Jones & Eniola, 2016). Maintenance practice of strategy is an attitude which is seen sadly lacking in Nigerian, whether in the home, office, school, or factory. Mbamahi (2003) added that poor maintenance culture has become a widely recognised problem in Nigeria. Maintenance culture in Nigeria is the lowest around the world especially in our principal town and cities. In the rural areas, the story is different and pleasant to hear. The traditional practice of communal clearing of community owned places such as market; playground is in almost every village. In private homes it is customary to refurbish building interiors with mixtures of cow dung or natural red clay.
Strategic maintenance provides services that improve maintenance sufficiency, equipment reliability, and cost tracking. Strategic management is the comprehensive collection of ongoing activities and processes that organization use to systematically co-ordinate and align resources and actions with mission, vision, and strategy throughout an organization. Adebayo (1991) states in his postulation that maintenance manager should have the knowledge and skills necessary to make valid decisions about what to do and how; Strategic management activities transform the static plan into a system that provides strategic performance feedback to decision making and enable the plan to evolve and grow as requirement and other circumstances change. Strategic plan is a document used to communicate with the organization goals, the action needed to achieve those goals and all other critical element developed during the planning exercise.
Faworaja (1996) in Mbamali (2003) asserted that we have no maintenance strategies and therefore no such culture exists. Neglect of maintenance has accumulated consequences in rapid increase in the deterioration of the fabric and finishes of a building accompanied by a harmful effect on the contents occupants (Seeley, 1987). Inadequate maintenance strategy is a peculiar feature of almost every building in Nigeria. According to Rotimi and Mtallib (1995) is partly due to poor maintenance culture on one hand and partly due to the absence of an appropriate benchmark. Gurji (1990) asserted that lack of proper maintenance culture bring the life of a building lost before reclining the total obsolescence state. The declining maintenance culture in Nigeria and its effect on building has become a major problem to both the public and private sectors. A poorly maintained building in a decaying environment depresses the quality of live and contributes in some measures to anti-social behaviour which threatens the socio-political environment it finds itself in.
In the development of maintenance strategies and programmes, health and safety have become fundamental requirements for business success because they depend on good maintenance practices to avoid hazards in the buildings or workplaces. A maintenance strategy sets the direction of maintenance management, whereas the maintenance programme is a comprehensive schedule of maintenance works carried out in a specified period of time. Both however involve a high level of decision making because customer perception of quality is determined by a number of factors relating to services, food, facilities and indoor environment. Management is willing to make every effort to improve maintenance management for energy savings. As such a sound maintenance strategy should be developed and implemented to keep the engineering systems reliable, safe, and energy efficient, satisfying customer needs and expectations (Kelly, 2016).
In maintenance practice several factors are considered before adoption of in-house technicians, out-source contractors, or combination of both. There is no general rule for a desirable ratio of in-house to contracted-out labour force on which management decision is based, but the availability of resources and a number of other factors are considered. Limited skills of in-house technicians in specialized disciplines are the most significant factor driving management to employ outsourcing labour for some maintenance and retrofitting works. Time constraints was considered as a factor since the main income of the hotels are from the rent of guest rooms and the provision of food and beverage services, including restaurants and banquet halls, therefore longer downtime of critical equipment and functional areas will lead to a serious loss of business. As a result, management has to carefully compare the working time needed by the outsourcing contractors with the in-house staff. This research is necessitated to assess the effect of maintenance strategies on the full utilization of facilities in Nigeria.
1.2 Statement of the Problems
Most of the recreational facilities / buildings are in deplorable conditions of structural and decorative disrepair. Series of research have been carried out on factors responsible for the poor maintenance management of public, private housing estates and offices in Nigeria but only scant attention has been given to the evaluation of the maintenance management practices adopted in the implementation of maintenance programmes for recreational facilities. The management of tourism destinations is closely related with the policies that affect local development and the creation of value in a destination. That is why a sustainable tourism development policy should try to obtain a balance between cultural values, environmental attractions and the economic results that the development of tourism can offer to a destination. Poor maintenance strategy is a common scenario in Nigeria as both public and private properties wear a new and decent look at the point of construction and occupation, however, this look fades away with time as the property is put to use and subjected to climatic factors which cause the wear and tear of the property and its members parts without any effort to maintain its functionality and look. Maintenance problems though do manifest during the use of the building, their cause might be during the design state. The exact nature of maintenance problems in recreational facilities could be traceable to certain factors or conditions that are inherent in the design and production of the facilities. There is therefore a need to establish and assess the effects of maintenance strategies on the full utilization of recreational facilities.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this project is to assess the effects of maintenance strategies on recreational facility, a study of Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja with a view of determining the enhanced value of the hotel.
To achieve the set aim of this research, the following objectives shall be pursue:
To identify the facilities of Ayala Hotel
To assess the state of repair or disrepair of the organization’s properties.
To identify the maintenance strategy adopted by Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja
To examine the effect of maintenance strategy adopted on the full utilization of the recreational facilities
To examine the challenges associated with the maintenance strategies in the study area.
1.4 Research Questions
The following research questions shall serve as a guide to the researcher towards achieving the aim of this study:
What are the types facilities in Ayala Hotel?
What is the state of repair or disrepair of the organization’s properties?
What is the maintenance strategy adopted by Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja
What is the effect of maintenance strategy adopted on the utilization of the recreational facilities
What are the challenges associated with the maintenance strategies on recreational facilities?
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will be essential in the sense that it would not only contribute to the theory and knowledge but will also contribute to the effectiveness of maintenance of building or property maintenance in both private and public organization especially Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja. This is because the study will attempt to find out the impact of poor maintenance strategy on hotel property in Abuja.
Well-structured maintenance schedules in different recreational centers in the country yielded excellent results for hotel operators and others in the hospitality industry, which must be learnt and derived from this study as an incentive to: real estate investors to go into hotel development and management, hotel operators in pursuing efficient maintenance programmes and private companies solely into hotel property management.
This research work would be of great significance and relevance as a source of information which will guide property developers, public and private institutions, students of estate management, building technology, property managers as well as the government and its relevant agencies dealing with property management.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
This project work will covers entirely the assessment of the effect of maintenance strategies on recreational facilities. The scope of the research will be limited to Ayala Hotel Garki Abuja to enable the researcher have full access to the study area for proper study, observation and inspection.

THE EFFECT OF CONSTRUCTION DEFECT ON THE RATE OF MAINTENANCE OF EDUCATIONAL PROPERTIES
(A CASE STUDY OF FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC NASARAWA)
ABSTRACT
The success of a building project depends on its performance which is measured based on the cost of maintenance and the quality and standard of workmanship. This study examine the effect of construction defect on the rate of maintenance of educational properties (a case study of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa). To achieve the objectives of this study the research identify the types of properties, causes of construction defect, examine the construction defects in federal polytechnic Nasarawa and find the possible measures in minimizing construction defect on educational properties.The research adopted the survey design which offers the opportunity to gather information through the use of questionnaires, personal interview and observation. A structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents which comprise the staff and student of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa. Data were presented and analysed using simple statistical tools. The studies revealed that proper construction management and quality control measures are required during execution of projects, to improve the productivity of building construction workers, building training and education would be necessary. Training of workers should be on a regular basis. The school maintenance department should maintain competent professionals in the relevant areas for design approval and from a long term perspective, provide the necessary training. Finally, the study recommend that there should be regular monitoring visits to all the construction sites with a view to ensuring compliance with the approved building plans. And that there is a need for further awareness raising on the danger in patronizing incompetent people for construction activities.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Defective construction is not limited to developing economies alone. Pole (1997) stressed that there had been claims of defective construction in the California housing market which focused on the development of condominium subdivisions; this has resulted to rapid increase of “Construction Defects Litigation” since the “building boom” of the 1980’s”. This is a proof of the existence of the problem of construction defect in developed counties. It is however not astonishing that it is a significant challenge found in the Nigerian building industry. “Construction Defect can be as a result of inadequate design, faulty workmanship or poor materials – or some combination of these failings. Someone is actually to blame, either the builder (or artisan) or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team. It is important therefore that the project team should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities and liabilities” (Barrett, 2008).
In construction projects the nature and type of defects can vary strikingly, as it can come to the point at which they become obvious or readily perceived (Outlaw, 2011). Sometimes minor defects can simply be corrected before the building is handed over to the employer, at other times significant defects may occur long after the original work has been finished and require large remedial works to repair. In instances where these defects are abandoned on account of being unnoticed or they are beyond correction, such buildings are left to the clients or users to maintain, endure the unpleasant aesthetics, and risk possible failures in very terrible cases (Outlaw, 2011).
Defects within buildings are areas of non-compliance with the building code, various standards and published acceptable tolerances and standards. Defective building construction not only contributes to the final cost of the product but also to the cost of maintenance which can be substantial. Defective construction may lead to complete failure of structure. The construction industry all around the world is getting modern, advance and growing day by day with the help of information technology age.
Construction defects become a global issue faced by practitioners and researchers around the world. Defects can affect success of construction project significantly. More specifically, it has major impact on construction cost, construction time, and rates of maintenance, productivity and sustainability aspects also on customer satisfaction. In the entire life cycle of any building, construction defect can be both a bane and a burden to that building, its users and its neighbourhood. Generally, this deficiency can be traced to design errors, poor or inferior materials, supervision lapses, and the incompetence of artisans. Sometimes, designers may not be conscious of the implication of their design decisions and the ability of contractors to meet or fulfill them safely.
Certain educational properties and office buildings of institutions, lecture halls, auditoriums have seen right significant rate of maintenance as a result of construction defects. The lack of maintenance by authorities and occupants of these facilities often leads to reduced lifespan of these buildings as mention by Melvin (1992), which invariably defeat the purpose for which they are put i.e. to ensure that the nation’s stock of buildings, both as a factor of production and accommodation, was used effectively as possible.
Although the building is a capital asset of the education institution, instead of building owners assume maintenance of the building as a vain liability and not a priority. In a particular occasion, the building owners often find themselves are no longer comfortable with building cracks on walls and floors, leaking water pipes and corrosion of steel structures. Maintenance made not only to maintain the building but also for the sake of public safety, including safe consumer building occupants. The researcher in a bit to address seek to examine the effect of construction defect on the rate of maintenance of educational properties, a study of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In the building industry today, building collapse has been one of the major problem faced by both the private and public developers, whether for personal use and for investment purposes. In recent time there has been incidence of building collapse in Nigeria cities which are majorly attributed to construction defects as even properties under construction collapsed destroying property and killing men at work. This has posed a very serious challenge to those in the building industry, the government and the individuals who are into property development in the country and above adversely affects the rate of maintenance of such buildings if peradventure they were ever completed. Several factors have been associated with this, some of which are negligence, greed, deficient foundations, inadequate or faulty steel reinforcement, hasty construction, no soil test, poor supervision and non-adherence to the building codes (Ede, 2010). The condition of educational institution buildings leaves much to be desired. The satisfaction derived from buildings in fulfilling the function and aesthetics properties is somehow missing in most institution as a result of construction defects and it’s attending effect on maintenance. Thus, this study focus on examining the effect of construction defects on the rate of maintenance of educational property in Nigeria with a particular interest in Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of construction defect on the rate of maintenance of educational properties.
To achieve the desired aim of this research the following specific objectives shall be pursued:
To identify the types of properties in federal polytechnic Nasarawa
To identify the causes of construction defects
To examine the construction defects in federal polytechnic Nasarawa
To determine the possible measures in minimizing construction defect on educational properties
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In embarking on this study, the researcher in line with the aims and objective of the study try to find answer to the following research questions
What are the construction defects in educational properties of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa?
What is the factor responsible for the current defect in the educational properties (Buildings)?
What are the causes of construction defect in educational properties of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa?
What is effect of Construction defect on the rate of maintenance of educational properties in the institution?
What are the problems affecting maintenance of educational property in the study area?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is essential in the sense that it would not only contribute to knowledge and theory, but will also contribute to good design and maintenance practice in the public institutions in Nigeria. This is because the study will attempt to find out the causes that have contributed to construction defect and its effect on maintenance of educational properties and recommend appropriate remedial actions to be taken.
Furthermore the study will assist Architects, builders and other stakeholders in Nigeria Building Industry and managers of educational institutions to become aware of the effect of construction defect on maintenance and also to put in place adequate innovative measures to prevent construction errors which adversely affect maintenance work both new and aging buildings.
1.7 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study was limited to educational properties in Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nasarawa State. It examined the effect of construction defects on the maintenance of educational properties of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa.
Some limitations encountered in the course of carrying out this research are as follow:
Time factor was the major constrain couple with multiplicity of other classroom work and lecture requirement were a set back to the research.
Un-cooperating attitude of some respondents as they were busy to attend to the researcher.
In accessibility of adequate information from research respondent due to illiteracy among them, some find it difficult to understand some question they were asked.
Finance was also a limiting factor in the course of the research.
1.8 DEFINITION OF OPERATIONAL TERMS
Education: According to Dictionary.com education is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally preparing oneself or other intellectually for mature life.
Property: Property is by property dictionary as anything that is owned by a person or entity, which be divided into “real property” and personal property.
Defects: Defect is defined as a fault or problem in something or someone that spoils that thing or person or causes it, him or her not to work correctly. (dictionary.cambridge.org)
Maintenance: Maintenance is defined as the work needed to keep a road, building, machine, etc in good condition (dictionary.cambridge.org).
Construction: This is the work of building or making something especially buildings, bridges etc. (Dictionary.cambridge.org).
1.9 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AREA
The Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa was established in 1983 by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The intention of the Federal government to establish the polytechnic was predicted by the governments desire to revolutionize the society technologically. This is spelt out in the objective Decree No. 28 of 1987. Amongst the important objectives is:To train people to acquire technical and vocational skills which are needed for the economic and social development of Nigeria especially in the field of agriculture, industry and commerce.
At the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa academic work commenced in January 1984 at the Central Primary School dubbed temporary site with an initial intake of 220 students enrolled in two schools: School of environmental and business studies. A department of liberal studies course and administration of pre-national diploma programmes. An important land mark in the development of the polytechnic was initial accreditation of all the programmes in 1985 and commencement of HND programmes in 1986 in business administration and management, accountancy, secretarial studies, town and regional planning.
In 1986, the minister of education, Professor Jibril Aminu cut the sod to begin the physical development at the permanent site, with the completion of classroom blocks and offices or school of environmental studies, the permanent site was commissioned for use in December 1984. During this period, national diploma (ND) programmes in Architectural technology, Building and Quantity Surveying (BOS), Town and Regional Planning and Estate Management, school of business and management studies; Accountancy and secretarial studies were initiated.
The rapid academic development continued in 1992 / 1993 session with commencement of ND programmes in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology, Science Laboratory Technology and Statistics. These programmes had associated with them requisite laboratories and workshops fully equipped to meet the requirements or accreditation. Indeed with this development, the polytechnic can now be said to be a full-fledged technical institution offering programme in core engineering, Applied Science, environmental and business studies.Now, the polytechnic has a student population of 17,234 student spread over 21 academic departments in four schools.
