Abstract
Since 2006, the Builders documents have been on transition in gaming limelight
from its inclusion as contract documents in the National Building Code. Vie Code
solely recognises the Builder as being responsible for the preparation of the Project
Quality Management Plan, the Project Health and Safety Plan and the
Construction Methodology. This study investigates the level of adherence to the
usage of theBuilders documents amongst professionals in the Nigerian
construction industry. Simple random sampling was used to fetch datafrom the 56
professionals studied through a structured questionnaire with only 40 of them
returning after filling. It was found that even though 85 percentofthe respondents
are aware of the existence of the Builders documents, majority do not fully use all 3
documents and three of the professionals studied still choose not to use the even
though they are familiar with them. It was recommended that while more
enlightenment should be done on the imperatives of the Builders documents in
Building project delivery, better implementation mechanisms of the documents
should also be enforced by statutory authorities so that construction delivery will
be more efficient.
