Abstract
The building industries in the developed and some
emerging economies were able to effectively contribute to
socio-economic development through the creation of
employments, provisionof shelter to millions as well as the
provision of basic infrastructure, through a sound policy
framework compliance. However, poor policy compliance in
the Nigerian Building Industry has been linked amongst other
things to the industry’s inability to deliver services effectively
and efficiently and this has been detrimental to Nigeria’s
economy. This study therefore sought to investigate how
policy/procedural framework influences the performance of
projects in the Nigerian buildingindustry.Explanatory and
descriptive design approaches were used to obtaindata from
completed projects files and interviewsin Abuja respectively.
Stratified random sampling was used to select three projects
from both public and private sectors.The study established
that policy and procedural frameworks guide in achieving
project delivery but the stake holders do not adhere to these
guidelines as stated in National Building Code. The study
recommends that strict compliance to policy/procedural
framework should be adopted to improve project delivery of
time, cost and quality standards.
