Abstract

The study established the critical success factors of sustainable building projects delivery in Enugu State and developed a framework for successful sustainable building projects delivery in the state. A study of nine selected local government areas (three each from the three senatorial zones of the state) was sampled based on urbanization and population of inhabitants in the area. A total of four hundred (400) questionnaires were distributed to stakeholders in the built environment while three hundred and forty four (344) representing 86.0% of the respondents were returned and used for the analysis. The data was analyzed using common size percentage analysis, mean score using five point likert rating scale, severity index/ranking, regression and correlation analysis. The result shows that meeting project goal and objective ranked first with mean score of 4.36 and severity index of 87.3%. This was followed by Health and Safety of occupants with mean score of 4.35 and severity index of 86.9%. The least in the ranking was efficiency of project execution and termination with mean score of 3.45 and severity index of 69.1%. The work concluded that the established critical success factors are necessary for development of framework for sustainable building projects development and delivery. The sustainable concepts applied to design, construction, operation and maintenance with whole life assessment of buildings would enhance the economic welfare, environmental health and social well-being of communities in the state. The study recommends that developing a template for sustainable building projects with database; engage in capacity building through education, training, skill acquisition and communities participation to close the knowledge gap; promote product innovation towards sustainable materials for affordability of occupants; encourage public, private partnership for urban renewal programme and enact legislation to back up all recommended proposals for proper enforcement.
