      abstract = {Professional Quantity Surveyors in conjunction with other members of the design team on infrastructure development have largely been involved in the administration of construction projects as they undertake effective financial management and cost control of projects from inception to completion. This paper assesses the impact of Quantity Surveyors in construction contract administration in Nigeria with a focus on efficient and effective Infrastructure delivery in Nigerian tertiary institutions by means of questionnaire survey of some selected Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Engineers and both public/private clients within Nigeria Tertiary Institutions. Findings of the study revealed that Quantity Surveyors have impacted significantly on construction contract administration in Nigeria and have also contributed positively to the growth of Nigerian construction industry in area of financial accountability, management of inflation and risk factors, and also ensuring value for money invested in the infrastructure development. The paper therefore concludes that for effective and efficient project delivery, Quantity Surveyors should be involved in the contract administration of tertiary institution?s project. The Quantity Surveyors should also continue to market themselves effectively by discharging their professional duties to high standard with due regard to their professional ethics whenever they are engaged on construction projects.},
