dc.description.abstractContract documents do not only represent ethical norms, they also serve as terms of reference for any construction work. This paper appraises the Builders documents as they form part of the contract document in accordance with the Nigerian National Building Code. It shows how the Construction Programme synthesizes the construction activities of a building project to give a suitable level of production flow and optimize the use of resources. The paper further depicts how the Quality Management Plan results in the reduction in inefficiencies and waste with the subsequent improvement in work practices of any given project. It also portrays how the Health and Safety Plan provides an organization with a proactive medium related to hazards and accidents thus fostering such organization to continue operating a profitable business while protecting employees from injuries, illness or harm. The perception of the built environment professionals were also sought to substantiate information from literature. This was done through the administration of structured questionnaires to inquire about the professionals' awareness about the documents, the extent of their application in execution of building projects and whether or not they should continue to be part of contract documents. The study revealed that some professionals are still not aware of their existence, of those that are aware of the existence of the Builders documents, some still do not use any of them in projects executions but most of the respondents are in support of inclusion of the Builders documents as contract documents. In conclusion, the writers emphasized the necessity of construction professionals and stakeholders to strongly adhere to the use of The Builders documents as contract documents so that construction delivery will be more efficient, safer and on time.
