Abstract
There is a growing interest in the performance of the
building industry ana its role in national development.
Concern has been expressed by government, private sector
and the general public over the professional conducts and
even the relevance of the professions that make up the
building industry. This is because after many years of
professional training and practices in Nigeria not a
reasonable number of Nigerians have been provided with
affordable houses in both the rural and urban centers.
Major construction works are handled by the foreign
expatriate either owing to the lack of interest. Either
way indicates an in-house problem in the building industry
that is affecting its effective professional operation.
This thesis therefore highlights those problems
affecting the effective operation of the building
industry, the causes and finally proposes a Centre for
professional excellence for the Nigerian building
industry. An environment for voluntary continuing
education for the promotion of mutual professional
training and practice, for research in the related fields
of building construction techniques and for professional
grooming for the purpose of professional recognition.
