of investment. New construction devices included steam engine, machines tools, explosives
and optical surveying. The steam engine combined with two other technologies which
blossomed in the nineteenth century, the circular saw and machine cut nails lead to the use of
balloon framing and the decline of traditional timber framing.
As steel was mass-produced from the mid-nineteen century it was used, in form of I-beams,
and reinforced concrete. Glass panes also went into mass- produced, and changed from
luxury to every mans property.
Plumbing appeared and gave common access to drinking water and sewage s collection.
Building codes have been applied since the nineteen century, with special respect to fire
safety. Continue
These had lead to specialization and professionals to further a develop the technological need
in production a perfect and satisfied building.
In building profession, a body known as The Nigeria Institute of building is the professional
body for builders and those who are about to be engaged in the building profession.
The institute has its origin in a similar body called the Builders which was formed in 1834
by a number of prominent builders in London. The Builders Society later became the
Institute of Building in the United Kingdom which later became the Chartered Institute of
Building in 1980 and now Institute for the Management of Construction.
Nigeria became the first overseas centre of the Institute of Building in 1967, the Nigeria
Centre of the Institute of Building became Autonomous in November 5, 1970 and from then
acquired the name The Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) noteworthy that this singular
achievement of the Nigeria centre acted as catalyst for the establishment of other autonomous
overseas centre of the Institute of Building (U.K) in Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ghana
and Kenya etc.
In 1974 the NIOB began the struggle for official recognitions in form of Statutory
Registration Council for Professional Builders. Through the relentless effort of NIOB, the
Federal Military Government signed into law the Builders Registration Act Decree No 45 of
1989 (Then Act CAP 40) to establish the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria
(CORBON) on December 15th, 1989 and the Council was officially inaugurated on 24th
April, 1990. Presently under constitutional review it in now Builders Registration Act Cap
B13 LFN 2004.
Building (shelter) is critical to human existence and the need to master and overcome its
complexity and complication demands that its production, management and maintenance
requires the involvement of a particular discipline in group not only to continue to develop
but to be dynamic in its technology, and management. We identify the Builders in this
group.
But its quite unfortunate that due to the existence of the sister profession whose arrival was
influential against buildings profession in Nigeria, many individual including those who find
themselves in Legislature, Executive and Judiciary, government parastatals/ Ministries,
Media, Security Agencies, Civil / Public Servant, Businessmen, and Institutions from the
public are inert of building profession hence demand the research on how best they can be
reached to comb quarks and possibly minimize the incessant collapse of buildings and lose
of life and properties giving professional touch to the technological development in building
production management and maintenance need within the building industry.
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of the study is to discover the effects of poor public awareness of building as
profession in the practices of Professional Builders in the building industry and to open the
eyes and attention of the expected building owners and users the important of engaging
professional builders to reduce the use of quarks and the incessant collapse of buildings.
To actualize the above aim, the following objectives were treated
1. To identify the effect of poor public awareness of building as a profession for professional
builders.
2. To identify the individuals that are ignorant of the profession.
3. To determine the factors that cause poor public awareness of building as a profession
4. To discover and establish the synergy between the practice of professional builders and
the members of the public
5. To discover how this public awareness could reduce the use of quarks and promote the
use for professional builders
6. To establish the relevance of public awareness of building as a professional practice in
reducing incessant building collapse in the country.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
This chapter will deal with research design, area of the study, the population of the study,
sample and sampling techniques, instrument for data collection, validation of the instrument,
reliability of the instruments, methods of data collections, and data analysis.
1.4 EXPECTED OUTCOMES
The poor public awareness of building as a profession for the practice of professional
Builders has made most clients and sponsors of building production to award their jobs
to quarks and non building professional members in good faith that they are awarding
Poor public awareness are caused by lack of fund, undedicated approach to the advert
and publication of the practice of this profession by the members, and levels of
managemental negligence to publication of the Nigerian institute of building all over
the states of
professional touch to the project execution on the side of practicing builders which
workshops
of other
organization, bill boards /flexes, Fliers, and catch them young programmes among the
secondary school students, and many more
