Abstract

As demand for sustainable development grows globally, role of Quantity Surveyors in integrating sustainability into construction processes has become vital. This study therefore investigates the Factors Influencing Quantity Surveyors' Involvement in the Delivery of Sustainable Housing Projects in Nigeria. The study comprises a sample of 48 Quantity Surveyors who had participated in sustainable housing projects. They were selected using the Respondent Driven Sampling technique. Data gotten from the questionnaires were analyzed using amongst others, mean score test, analysis of variance and factor analysis. The study reveals that Quantity Surveyors' involvement in sustainable housing projects in Lagos is driven by a complex interplay of factors. Continuous professional development, technological advancements, and market demands emerge here as key drivers. Quantity surveyors are willing participants in this new era of technological advancement, this finding cements the importance of ongoing learning and skill enhancement in adapting to the evolving demands of sustainable construction. The originality lies in its exploration of the factors influencing the involvement of Quantity Surveyors in the delivery of sustainable housing projects, offering novel perspectives on how these factors can pave the way for transformative improvements in construction sector. The study provides empirical insights into factors that can aid Quantity Surveyors involvement in the delivery of sustainable housing projects in the construction industry and beyond.
