| dc.description.abstract | This is a study of performance evaluation of the building fabric and some services of public residential buildings in Abuja; the new Federal Capital of Nigeria. Different types of defects, the frequency they occured and the subsequent maintenance problems were studied for residential buildings under used. Four different development districts, Gwagwalada, Nyanyan, Garki and Wuse of the new Federal Capital were taken as the area of study. In each case the type and the cause of the defect recorded and the probable maintenance problem noted. The analysis of faults observed indicated that those defects related to door, mechanical services, roof and wall occured in that order of frequency. The causes of these defects were observed to be from low quality materials, poor construction or even mis-use in the case of pipe blockages. In each case recommendations and suggestions were appropriately made. Recommendations made included: 12 The improvement of water supply to Nyanyan and Gwaqwalada Districts and more enlightenment on the use of proper materials in the toilets. 2) The Provision of r.c. roof beams and hook bolts to secure rafters firmly to buildings. 3) The Department of Public works at the F.C.D.A. should provide adequate supervision and, or inspection on their current and future building sites to ensure that contractors adhere to specifications and quality procedures in construction. ix | en_US |
