Assessment of the involvement of quantity surveyors in the measurement of electrical services for buildings in Kaduna State, Nigeria
Abstract
The preparation of bills of quantities for electrical services has been considered as one of the essential knowledge areas for quantity surveyors in managing the cost of building services. Previous research have indicated that the level of involvement of quantity surveyors in the measurement of electrical services In Nigeria is low. This study aimed at assessing the extent to which quantity surveyors are involved in the measurement of electrical services in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A qualitative approach was used for this study with semi-structured interviews conducted with some quantity surveyors to collect data. Data collected was analysed using constant comparative analysis method. The results showed that a large percentage (75%) of quantity surveyors in Kaduna State, Nigeria are involved in the measurement of electrical services for building projects. The study concluded that for more realistic cost estimates in electrical services, detailed measurement rather than the use of lump sum amounts should be encouraged. The study recommended that quantity surveyors should updated their measurement skills on electrical services through continuous professional development.
