“…According to Dosumu and Akinsiku [19], the effects of project abandonment in Nigeria cannot be underestimated, as it has consequences on the stakeholders (clients, consultants, contractors, and users) and the nation as a whole. This then suggests that, for there to be a sustainable environment, abandoned properties must be done away with in our neighborhoods.…”

The well-being of any nation is based on its readily available and functional infrastructure. The abandonment of urban infrastructure does become a threat and causes an environmental nuisance, slowing down development. The study assesses the impact of abandoned urban infrastructure on the environmental development of Ogun State. It examines the effects of abandonment on the environment and identifies the various causes and types of abandoned urban infrastructure in the state. Questionnaires and interviews were used to gather data from estate surveyors, valuers, and end users of urban infrastructure. The data was analyzed using a descriptive analysis and the Relative Importance Index (RII). The effects of abandoned urban infrastructure on environmental development were determined to be environmental degradation, a decrease in business activities, and an increase in health issues. The study recommends that infrastructural projects should be done in bits to avoid abandonment, ongoing construction should always be kept clean to avoid negatives uses, good health care and environmental cleaning up should be done for the people, and the use of turnkey projects as well as the globally established PPP model of infrastructure delivery.

“…Moreover, cost and time targets have been the subject of controversy, disputes, arbitration, litigation, project failures and abandonment (Shamsudeen & Biodun, 2016). The lack of cost and time monitoring on construction projects usually results in cost and time overruns in the construction industry (Dosumu & Aigbavboa, 2017). Errors in construction documents are one of the top causes of cost and time overrun on construction projects and need to be appropriately mitigated to improve project performance (Ali & Kamaruzzaman, 2010;Abdullah & Azis, 2011;Memon et al, 2012;Fuadie et al, 2017).…”

The construction industry has generally been tagged with poor project performance. Cost and time overruns are the leading causes of poor performance. Design and construction errors are equally leading causes of cost and time overruns. The objectives of this study are to investigate the prevalent types of errors in construction documents, the cost implication of the errors, the time implication of the errors, and strategies adopted to mitigate the errors. The study involves an interview of construction professionals on 51 selected building projects across the southwestern States of Nigeria through the non-probabilistic convenience sampling technique. The findings of the study indicated that the Nigerian construction industry is largely dominated by the use of traditional procurement method and many construction projects lack complete construction documents. Also, errors in construction documents added about 9% to the contract sum and 31% to cost overrun. It also added about 21% to the agreed duration and 40% to the total time overrun. The study concluded that errors in construction documents affect project duration more than the project cost and can triple the agreed duration of building projects in some cases. The study recommended that based on the projects investigated, an additional 10% should be added to the agreed cost and 20% to the scheduled duration of building projects.
