Adoption and Barriers of Engineered Bamboo Products in the Nigerian Construction Industry
(Horizon Research Publishing (HRPUB), 2025) Amusan, Lekan M.; Ojelabi, Rapheal A.; Omuh, Ignatius O.; Ogunrinde, Olugbenro
The rise in the cost of conventional construction materials and the greenhouse effect from construction activities have been an issue of concern to stakeholders in the construction industry. Hence, efforts have been concentrated on developing low-cost, environmentally friendly and sustainable local materials to mitigate the greenhouse effect. The quest for the sustainable materials necessitates the study to examine the prospects of adoption of engineered bamboo products and the challenges militating against its use among construction professionals. A quantitative approach was adopted and 70 questionnaires were distributed among construction professionals with structural engineering background in selected firms across Lagos State. Data collected were processed using percentage, mean item score and KruskalWallis’s test. Facts garnered from the study revealed that engineered bamboo adoption for construction related works like ceiling, flooring, and reinforcement among others is not outstanding. The poor implementation of the engineered bamboo products is attributed to some challenges which include ‘high affinity for conventional materials’, ‘unavailability of bamboo products’ and ‘lack of machinery to refine raw bamboo’ among others. Therefore, the study recommends that stakeholders need to channel more resources into research and development and creating an enabling policy that can enhance the bamboo products adoption.
Construction Quality Management Automation: Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Emerging Technologies (ET): A Review
(EPiCSeries in Built Environment Volume 6, 2025) Ogunrinde, Olugbenro; Burgoon, Jared; Oyeyipo, Opeyemi; Ojelabi, Rapheal
Construction productivity has been nearly stagnant for decades and traditional productivity metrics hinder progress. Addressing these challenges is critical for improving productivity. Emerging technologies like BIM present a viable solution for enhancing performance and productivity. Construction quality management processes (CQM) offer the potential for improving productivity; however, the construction industry is slow to adopt innovation. Manufacturing and other industries have seen productivity growth of 3.6% and 2.8% respectively because of the introduction of cutting edge technology for reducing human errors compared to construction’s that remains at 1% over the last two decades mostly due to conventional approach. Therefore, this paper reviews existing literature and identifies BIM integrative technologies that can enhance the CQM processes to improve productivity and reduce human errors. The study identified visualization modeling and automation systems technologies that can be integrated with BIM to guide stakeholders toward adoption and use for quality evaluation processes. Visualization modeling and automation system technologies that can be applied across various quality management categories are identified, offering insights for construction stakeholders. These technologies are positioned as key tools for improving the industry’s efficiency and guiding stakeholders toward more effective quality evaluation and management practices.
Modelling client and construction firm barriers hindering social client relationship management system implementation in the built environment
(Architectural Engineering and Design Management (Taylor and Francis), 2023-11) Ojelabi, Rapheal; Adedeji, Afolabi; Oyeyipo, Opeyemi; Ogunrinde, Olugbenro
The need to foster a strong relationship in the construction industry is vital due to the level of dependency among stakeholders in the sector. The social CRM system has been deployed as a relationship tool in most sectors, but its infusion in the construction industry is not resounding. Hence, the study investigates the barriers to Social Client Relationship Management application in fostering sustainable relationships among construction stakeholders. It models the relationships between the associated barriers between the client and the construction organisations affecting the implementation of social CRM systems. A quantitative research approach was adopted, and a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted on 200 construction experts selected from 40 construction projects in Lagos Island. The targeted construction experts were elicited for the survey using purposive sampling techniques. Data from the survey were analysed using SPSS 21 data analytics techniques like frequencies and percentages. Also, the study used SmartPLS (v.3.2.3) to develop the structural model. Findings from the study revealed a strong relationship between the significant factors associated with the clients and construction organisation hindering Social CRM system implementation in the built environment. The findings can assist built environment stakeholders in developing strategies to control the factors associated with the client and construction organisation militating against Social CRM implementation in the construction industry.
