INTRODUCTIONA program in a non-structured language usually consists of sequentially ordered commands, or statements, usually one in each line. The lines are usually numbered or may have labels: this allows the flow of execution to jump to any line in the program.Non-structured programming introduces basic control flow concepts such as loops, branches and jumps. Although there is no concept of procedures in the non-structured paradigm[citation needed], subroutines are allowed. Unlike a procedu...
ABSTRACTVariation order is a common phenomenon in construction projects. It involves an amendment of the original scope of a project as in the contract. Variation orders are caused from various factors.Variations often cause disputes and dissatisfactions among the parties involved in construction projects. Thus, it is very important to control variation orders in a construction project. According to Calibri">Arain and Pheng (2005) the effects of variation orders oninstitutional building proje...

ABSTRACTWallingmaterials play a vital role in the construction of buildings. The study run acomparative analysis between Hydraform blocks and sandcrete blocks which areboth major components of walling to ascertain which block is more costeffective, has high compressive strength and compare the benefit of Hydraformblock to sandcrete block. Snowball sampling technique was used to sample datafrom nine professionals who have experience in the use of both Hydraform blocksand sandcrete blocks. An i...
ABSTRACTThis project entitled “Rehabilitation of Road” is aimed at investigating the causes of failure on the road linking Federal Secretariat, IMT Civil soil lab to Industrial Centre IMT Campus III Enugu and the possible way of re-designing it for its effective use by IMT community and visitors of IMT. But before the road is being re-designed, effort was made to find out the causes of the road failure along this road which includes lack of drainage system, lack of maintenance, inad...
ABSTRACT The work was an attempt to evolve a quicker and easier means of reaching high places and point safely in tall buildings and other high structures. This has no doubt saved consideration cost of employing cranes. A very clear account of the introduction and literature background of the project has been discussed in details. The report also unveils the preliminary experiments carried out to determine the load carrying capacity of the ladder. Efforts were also mad...

AbstractConstruction projects are known to experience time delays due to various reasons. The aim of this study is to find out if the material management approach used on building projects has a relationship with the scheduled completion time of the projects. Various literatures were reviewed so as to identify the different material management techniques available and classification of time overrun. The study was carried out on building projects situated in Lagos and simple random sampling te...
