The objective of this paper are to investigate the categories of frequently used and repaired household electronics Enugu Urban area and to determine the disposal practices, policies and regulations that regulate the disposal and management of E-waste in Enugu Urban area. The study area is located within latitude 06o 00’N and 07o 00’N and longitude 07o 00’E and 07o 45’E. The Cochran sample size formula for the 722,664 population was used to determine sample size for the study. This study observed that 31.3% of household electronic products are stored at homes and offices, 38.3% are sold to scavengers who recycle in a crude way, 11.8% said the sale to waste recycling companies which in-turn are scavengers because there are currently no formal e-waste recycling company in Enugu Urban, 29.5% ...

The aim and objective of this study is to know how effective the use of drone to monitor safety and security in Nigerian Building Construction site can improve dangerous site situations. In other to achieve the aim and objective of this study the following were postulated: To examine the level of awareness of drones in Enugu State Nigeria? What is the level of adoption of drones among construction stakeholder in Enugu State Nigeria? To examine the limitations of using drones/UAVs (Quadcopter) for safety and security monitoring within Building Construction sites in Enugu State Nigeria. Genius-idea drones and DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drones were used in this study. The targeted professionals/stakeholder was architects, builders, engineers, ...

The paper discusses the step-by-step preparations prior to and during fieldwork and their importance in fruitful data collection, respondent’s responses and accompanied field interview. It highlights the pros and cons of fieldwork showing reasons why fieldwork is vital in biodeterioration research in the built environment. In doing so, the various stages of the fieldwork are discussed with their implications. At the end of the fieldwork, useful lessons learnt include the essence of digital compass in geolocation, the effect of good first impression during interview, and sourcing of data from government and organizations amongst others.

Disagreements and conflicts in the construction industry have been viewed as disagreeable events in the implementation of projects by numerous researchers and these harm costs, performance, and complete objectives. Such conflicts have in the past been settled by litigation and lawsuits in which commercial ties were ultimately destroyed. The study employed four research objectives and research questions. Data used for the study existed from secondary and primary sources. Secondary records were assembled from related works on preceding studies although primary data were collected from fact-finding. The sample size is 100 respondents made up of staff from the Federal Ministry of Works and the state ministry of works in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Four establishments of higher learning in Imo State were also ...
