Item Construction Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (CMSMEs) Innovations(Journal of Engineering, Project, and Production Management, 2019-10-04) Abel John Tsado , Winston W. M. Shakantu , & Alumbugu Polycarp Olaku: Innovation is at the core of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)/ construction micro, small, and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) world over. Be that as it may, the overwhelming sorts of innovation among enduring and effective CMSMEs, and the effects of such innovation(s) on the achievement of the CMSMEs is hazy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the transcendent sorts of innovation among the successful construction micro, small, and medium enterprises. The examination utilized subjective research technique to exploratively decide the sorts of innovations. Recorded interviews comprised the exploration of information from 43 CMSMEs through 14 states out of the 19 states constituting northern Nigeria. While a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions was utilized to gather information through judgmental and snowballing examining procedure at stage 1 and 2 individually. Information was transcribe interpreted, open and axial codes examined and interpreted. The outcome uncover product innovation as the main type of innovation among different types of innovation and generally in charge of the accomplishment of the CMSMEs considered. The investigation improves the collection of learning regarding basic types of innovations within CMSMEs and proposes that effective CMSMEs give more consideration to product innovation to trigger their prosperity and different types of innovation. Moreover, the aftereffect of the examination proposed failing CMSMEs can endure when they focus on product innovationItem Assessment of the Effect of Plan Shapes on Cost of Institutional Buildings in Nigeria(International Refereed Journal of Engineering and Science (IRJES), 2015-03-03) Saidu, Ibrahim , Alumbugu, Polycarp Olaku Abdulazeez Abdulmumin and Wasiu Adeniran Ola-AwoThis research analyzed the effect of plan shapes on cost of multi-storey Institutional buildings in Nigeria. Data were collected from drawings and priced bill of quantities for 28 projects of existing institutional buildings in Kwara State. In order to determine the plan shape with the most effect, a descriptive method of analysis (bar chart) was used. It was found out that, in all the plan types (“A” Circular-shaped, “B” U-shaped, “C” L-shaped, and “D” Rectangular shaped building) observed for each of the building elements (Substructure, Frame work, Block work, Roof work, Services, Finishes) including the overall building cost, plan shape Type “A” (circular shaped buildings) were the most expensive with an average total cost of N225,959,924.75 Plan shape type “D”(the Rectangular shaped buildings) have the lowest average total cost of ₦ 87,76I,791.27.It was concluded that plan Type “A” (circular shaped buildings) were the most expensive with highest average cost, plan Type “B” and “C” (U and L shaped) were at the average while building Type “D” (Rectangular shaped building) has the lowest average cost. The study recommends that clients that might be considering embarking on the multi-storey institutional building development should bear in mind the cost effectiveness of each plan shape in order to avoid adverse cost consequences on the project.Item Evaluation of Perception of Stakeholders on Key Performance Indicators for U.B.E Building Projects(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST), 2015-03-02) Alumbugu, Polycarp Olaku, Abdulazeez, Abdulmumin, Saidu, Ibrahim, Ola-Awo, Wasiu Adeniran,Tsado Abel John—A project performance can be measured traditionally by three factors, which are co, time and quality. Researchers however argued that the measure of project success can no longer be restricted to the traditional indicators. Key performance indicators vary from project to project. Despite much work on the subject, there is no commonly agreed framework of performance measurement on projects. To bridge this gap, this research targets to investigate the perception of stakeholders on key performance indicators (KPIs) in the context of Universal Basic Education (U.B.E) building project in Niger state, Nigeria. The study explores key performance indicators in perspective of various stakeholders within (client, consultants, contractors, principal/teacher, parent, pupil/student and member of community) within U.B.E. Data for the study were sourced from a total of seventy (70) structured questionnaire administered to the stakeholders of the selected U.B.E primary school projects using the simple stratified sampling technique. The data collected were analyzed using the descriptive method comprising of the mean score and ranking methods. It was found out that the traditional measures of the iron triangle (on-time, under budget and according to specifications) are most criteria for measuring delivery of projects, it also shows that project executed by U.B.E are delivered within time, on budget and quality. It also revealed that stakeholders are satisfied with the UBE building project.
