  Sustainable Improvement in Infrastructure Development in Africa: Which way forward? Editorial June 2023

summary:
  The third paper is by Musa, Saleh, Ibrahim, and Dandajeh (2023), which appraises the level of awareness and barriers to applying lean construction in Nigeria, using Kano as a case study. The principle of lean construction is the elimination of waste in any production process and activities resulting in a process cycle reduction by implication, improving the product quality and project efficiency (Balalola et al. 2019; Womack and Jones 2003).

  A Measure of Combustion-Generated Pollutants in University Laboratories and their Effects on the Indoor Air Quality: Combustion-Generated pollutant

summary:
  In addition to daily human activities that lead to the generation of indoor air pollutants, combustion sources and activities, especially in laboratories, contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM) emissions into indoor air environments ( Awbi, 2003). The emphasis of the sources of indoor air pollutants was on indoor combustion activities.

summary:
  Several authors such as (Muka et al. (2015), Otegbulu et al. (2011), Chen and Khumpaisal (2009), identified property development risk factors as social, technological, economic, environmental and political because of the overall impact on the project management processes with respect to project delay, project cost, overrun, the usage and management of the property which could result in the variation of the total value of the project whilst Akintoyeand MacLeod (1997) identified different risk factors with respect to construction project under extensive group of physical, environmental, design, logistics, financial, legal, political, construction and operation risks. Completion of projects within the specified timeframe or schedules is a major problem confronting real estate development projects; thus it is worthwhile to carry out a survey investigating how the risk factors could impact the timely project delivery.

summary:
  Overall, the research observed that although there is a gradual increase in construction cost, this is not increasing proportionally with inflation and that there is a significant positive relationship between construction costs and equipment costs when historical cost data are analyzed. This study examines the determinants of building construction costs in South Africa and whether changes in the cost of certain resource factors such as construction equipment, labour and materials can be related to changes in building construction costs.

  Therefore, a two-factor model emerged from the factorial analysis, as evinced in Figure 3. Figure 3: Two-Factor Model of Safety Performance measures In relation to construction safety performance, general performance measures are leading indicators which provide information that prompt actions to achieve desired outcomes and avoid unwanted outcomes whereas trailing performance measures are lagging indicators that provide safety results, for instance, the extent of worker injuries (Hinze et al. 2013). Leading indicators of construction safety performance.

  The Construction Subcontracting Policy Framework for Developing Local Contractors Capacities in Zambia

summary:
  The study established four major deficiencies of the policy which include: subcontractors do not participate early in the procurement process and are introduced after contract is awarded; no clear guidelines on the implementation of the policy; subcontractors do not take part in determining works; and it is difficult to grow capacity of local contractors using the 20% subcontracting policy because contractors engaged to be main on projects do not show interest in developing and building local contractors capacity due to lack of incentives. , the existing variances disables local contractor capacities in relation to registration according to institution requirements And in the recent years, Zambia has seen major construction works that are capital intensive hence are limited to contractors who are in higher grades based on the contractors’ classification system in Zambia as highlighted by National Council for Construction (2018) and the National Road Fund Agency (NRFA) (2015) and
