Relevant literature on studies done in other countries and in Nigeria as well was reviewed. A comprehensive questionnaire was designed and administered to the respondents (construction industry professionals) for data collection and analysis. A total of 60 respondents to a questionnaire survey most of which were construction companies provided empirical data for the analysis. Preliminary findings indicate that the Nigerian construction industry has not fully appreciated the value of ICT and the impact of its use on productivity value chain management. This delay in ict uptake in the Nigerian construction industry is limiting advances in construction quality, cost efficiencies and competitiveness of local firms. However, there are indications that the construction companies in Nigeria are beginning to realize that they would record substantial financial benefits as a result of ICT implementation and are flexible in the case of adapting to new technology. The survey through the questionnaire had limitations as it relates to industry best practices in the international arena because of varying applications of construction techniques and methodologies. Furthermore, the survey was relatively small compared to the target group of over 2000 industry players. This was mainly due to lack of funding for the research. However, the study establishes a baseline for future construction sector ICT studies and further registers the sectoral ICT competitiveness of the Nigerian construction industry....Preview Download Preview +Other Building Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Causes of project abandonment in building construction industry and remedial measures»Causes of construction project failures and abandonments in Nigeria»Safety procedures and accident prevention methods in construction sites»Control of Noise Pollution and Sound Insulation in Buildings ( A Case Study of a Broadcasting Studio)»The implication and benefit of the use of softwares in building project construction (case study of selected software and firm)»Maintenance and servicing problems of specialist works in building»The effect of quality control in the building construction process (a case study of Afikpo, Ebonyi state)»A study of prospects and problems of timber as external material in building production in hot climate region»The impact of budgeting and budgetary control in construction project delivery in Nigeria»Challenges of low-cost housing delivery in Nigeria (Case study of Imo state)»Use of formwork design and construction of high building»Project planning and programming as tools for effective project delivery»The use of building survey for maintenance of building in Nigeria ( A case study of one storey building at Owerri, Imo state)»Design and construction of office complex for school of environmental design technology»Effects of labour management in building construction site - case study of Owerri, Imo state
