FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

DEPARTMENT OF QUANTITY SURVEYING
2014 – 2019 STUDENTS’ HANDBOOK

PREFACE
I am glad to welcome you to the Department of Quantity Surveying, Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, a centre of excellence for the training of professional Quantity Surveyors not only in Nigeria but
also in Africa. The Department is the first to offer Quantity Surveying Programme of all the Universities
located in Southwestern Nigeria. The introduction of B.Sc. (Honours) Quantity Surveying programme
in 1977 under the then Department of Environmental Planning, Design and Management heralded the
establishment of full-fledged Department of Quantity Surveying in 1981. The Department has since its
establishment offered undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Quantity Surveying and it has
successfully trained thousands of Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are occupying top positions in
private practice, government and academia all over the world.
Over the years, the Department has reviewed her programmes in response not only to current practice
and demands of the construction industry but also in anticipation of future trends in Quantity Surveying
practice. This 2014 – 2019 edition of the Students’ Handbook is the product of a review of the 2007
edition, necessitated by the need to increase its ICT and construction marketing and finance contents. In
addition, contemporary issues like construction project management, gender issues, conflict
management and international construction practices and procedures as well as specialized areas like
heavy and process engineering technology and measurement are also included.
The Department has made tremendous contributions as one of the oldest Departments of Quantity
Surveying in Nigeria in providing leadership to other institutions offering Quantity Surveying
programmes. Brilliant performances of our graduates in professional examinations in and outside
Nigeria attest to the quality of our academic staff and programmes. The quality of the academic staff
has improved tremendously in the last 5 years with four additional lecturers obtaining their Ph.D degrees
and four others currently pursuing theirs of which two are nearing completion. Presently, the Department
is privileged to have one of the best staff mix among the Departments offering Quantity Surveying in
the country. Regarding core Quantity Surveying academics, the Department has 3 full Professors, 2
Senior Lecturers, 7 Lecturers and 1 Assistant Lecturer. In addition, the Department has cognate lecturers
teaching on the Quantity Surveying programme, consisting of 2 Professors, 6 Senior Lecturers and 3
Lecturers. Together, this gives us a total of 23 full time academics, consisting of 5 Professors, 8 Senior
Lecturers and 10 Lecturers. This gives the Department a staff mix of 22: 35: 43 which is well within the
acceptable margin of the 20: 35: 45 staff mix recommended by the National Universities Commission
(NUC). Moreover, the Department has 4 support staff members, consisting of a Confidential Secretary,
a Chief Typist, A Clerical Officer and a Chief Office Assistant. The Department has for many years
enjoyed full accreditation by the NUC and Quantity Surveyors’ Registration Board of Nigeria (QSRBN).
This Handbook provides pertinent information that will be of immense benefits to students and other
enquirers. It highlights the programmes of study provided in the Department, the admission and
graduation requirements, course structure and contents as well as the grading system. In addition, it
provides other necessary information about the workings and operations of the Department in particular
and other related units of the University in general. As you commence your career development, as a
student in this great Department, I enjoin you not only to pass through the University, but to open your
mind to embrace positive ideas that will allow the university to pass through you as well. I wish you a
rewarding sojourn at GREAT IFE and outstanding success.

HISTORICAL NOTES

1.2.1 History of the University
A brief history of the University and the Faculty of Environmental Design and Management as contained
in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Calendar, 2004-2006 and Faculty of Environmental
Design and Management handbook respectively with the history of the Department of Quantity
Surveying is given below.
Obafemi Awolowo University (formerly, University of Ife), Ile-Ife is one of the three Universities
established in Nigeria between 1961 and 1962 as a result of the report submitted to the Federal
Government in September, 1960, by a Commission it appointed in April 1959 under the Chairmanship
of Sir Eric Ashby, Master of Clare College, Cambridge, to survey the needs of post-secondary and higher
education in Nigeria over the next twenty years.
The Government of Western Nigeria first announced in 1960 its intention to establish as soon as possible
a University in Western Nigeria which would be of the highest standard. Its policy would be to open its
doors to students from all parts of the Federation and of the World.
The planning of the Obafemi Awolowo University was entrusted to two Committees. The first being a
University Planning Committee comprising persons qualified to advice on the planning of a new
University, and who in effect undertook the preparatory work connected with the establishment of the
University pending the setting up of the Provisional Council of the University. The second committee
was the University Parliamentary Committee, which was advisory to the Minister of Education. On 8th
June, 1961 the Law providing for the establishment of the Provisional Council of the university was
formally inaugurated under the Chairmanship of Chief Rotimi Williams.
On 11th June, 1970, an Edict known as the University of Ife Edict, 1970 was promulgated by the
Government of the Western State to replace the Provisional Council Law of 8th June, 1961. This Edict
has since been amended by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (Amended) Edict No. 11 of 1975
(Transitional Provisions) Decree No. 23 of 1975. This new Decree effected a take over of the Obafemi
Awolowo University by the Federal Military Government and established a Provisional Council as an
interim governing body of the University which shall subject to the general direction of the Head of the
Federal Government, control the policies and finances of the University and manage its affairs.
Governing Council has since replaced this Provisional Council.
The site selected for the University was at Ile-Ife, a town about 80 kilometres northeast of Ibadan in Oyo
State (part of the old Western State). Ife is famous as the centre of an ancient civilization and home of
the Museum, which contains the renowned Ife heads. It was intended that temporary buildings should
be put up on the site to enable teaching to commence in October 1962 while the permanent buildings
were being planned and erected. But when the Federal Government transferred the Ibadan Branch of the
Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology to the University, it was decided that it would be
unnecessary to put up temporary buildings at Ife and the University was temporarily located on the site
of Ibadan Branch of the Nigerian College. Teaching began in October 1962 with an initial enrolment of
244 students. The teaching, administrative and technical staff, either transferred from the Nigerian
College or newly recruited from abroad numbered about eighty.
The University started with five Faculties - Agriculture, Arts, Economics and Social Studies (now Social
Sciences), Law and Science. Six new faculties have since been added, namely the Faculty of Education
(established on 1st October, 1967), the Faculty of Pharmacy (established on 1st October, 1969), the
Faculties of Technology and Health Sciences (now College of Health Sciences) (both established on 1st
3
October, 1970) Faculty of Administration (which replaces the former Institute of Administration with
effect from 1st October 1979) and Faculty of Environmental Design and Management (established on
April 6, 1982).
In 1992, the University established a collegiate system with five Colleges. The system did not function
effectively and was abandoned after two years. However, the Postgraduate College and the College of
Health Sciences were retained. The College of Health Sciences now comprises of the Faculties of Basic
Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences and Dentistry.
The Adeyemi College of Education located in Ondo and the Institute of Agricultural Research and
Training in Ibadan were initially integral part of the University. Although the Adeyemi College was
separated from the University in 1975, however, there is still a close relationship between the two
institutions. The College offers degree programme of the University under a system that is closely
monitored by the University. The Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, Ibadan with a branch
at Akure in Ondo State, used to be fully superintended by the University in 1991. However, the Akure
branch and the College of Animal Science of the Insu.ute continued to report to the Federal Government
through the Director of the institute. In terms of funding, the Institute of Agricultural Research and
Training now relates to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture while the University still has administrative
responsibility for the Research and Administrative staff of the Institution. The Director and the Secretary
of the institute are responsible to the University through the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar respectively.
The Vice-Chancellor is the Chairman of the Institute's Governing Board.
The following other Institutes and major units exist in the University:
The Natural History Museum

The Institute of Ecology and Environmental Studies
The Centre for Gender and Social Policy Studies
The Centre for Industrial Research and Development
The Institute of Public Health
The Institute of Cultural Studies
The Physical Planning and Development Unit
The Computer Centre
The Drug Research and Production Unit
The Equipment Maintenance and Development Centre
The Central Technological Laboratory Workshop
The Central Science Laboratory
The Centre for Distance Learning
Finally, some other agencies over which the University has no direct, or, in some cases limited control,
have premises within the University. These include
The Regional Centre for Training in Aerospace Surveys

The National Centre for Technology Management
The Centre for Energy Research and Development
The African Regional Centre for Space Science and Education in English.
The student population rose steadily from 244 in 1962/63 to over 30,000 at the end of the 2013/2014.

1.3.2. The History of the Faculty of Environmental Design and Management
The history of the Faculty dated as far back as 1970 with the establishment of the Department of Estate
Management in the Faculty of Technology. The Department of Estate Management was expanded in
October 1977 to include academic programmes and specializations in Architecture, Building, Quantity
Surveying and Urban & Regional Planning. These five Departments metamorphosed in 1982 into a
Faculty of Environmental Design and Management. The Department of Fine Arts was added to it in
1990.
The Faculty is also at the forefront in research and has viable postgraduate programmes in all fields of
the Environmental Design and Management. This is because all the offices have connectivity to the
8
internet for easy access to learning materials. Other sister universities in the country look up unto us for
the postgraduate training of their academic staff.
The Faculty, through its postgraduate programmes, has produced high level manpower not only for the
Faculty but for the needs of many Universities and other establishments in Nigeria and worldwide. The
products of this Faculty are also in the managerial positions in the private and public organizations not
only nationally but also internationally. As a matter of fact, they are in the forefront of the construction
industry, charting the road for others to follow.
We are in the process of reviewing our academic programrnes paying particular attention to the needs
of employers and also to the development of entrepreneurship knowledge and skills. New courses are
being designed and introduced. We are keen to collaborate with similar institutions, corporate bodies in
Nigeria and those in the diaspora.
Presently, the active alumni of the Faculty are from all the Departments in the Faculty especially
Department of Quantity Surveying and they have contributed in no small measure to the growth and
development of the Faculty and the Departments. It is hoped that other alumni will join hands with the
active ones to assist the Faculty to sustain our lead position among Nigerian Universities and rank among
the best in the world.
1.3.3.1 The History of the Department of Quantity Surveying
The B.Sc. Quantity Surveying programme was introduced in 1977 under the then Department of
Environmental Planning, Design and Management leading to the establishment of a full fledged
Department of Quantity Surveying in 1981. The Department has since its establishment offered
undergraduate and graduate programmes in Quantity Surveying. Over the years, the Department has
reviewed its programmes in response to not only current practice and demands of the construction
industry but also to anticipated future trends in quantity surveying practice and theory.
The Department has trained thousands of Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are occupying top positions
in private practice, Government and academics all over the world. One of our products is a world
renowned professor in England and another holds a top post in the Engineering Services Department of
the UN Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. Austria. The Department has also made tremendous
contributions as one of the oldest departments of Quantity Surveying in Nigeria in providing leadership
to other institutions offering quantity surveying programmes. Brilliant performances of our graduates in
professional exams in and outside Nigeria attest to the quality of our programmes. The quality of the
academic staff has improved tremendously with three lecturers obtaining their Ph.D. degrees in the past
one year and three others currently pursuing theirs both locally and outside Nigeria. Also, in the past
five years, the Department has trained four graduate assistants who all progressed to the rank of Assistant
Lecturer.
The Department is looking for brilliant young men and women who have the ability and zeal to go
through training in a wide range of skills including sustainable construction, law, accounting, estimating,
construction procurement, project management, risk and value management and ICT to form the
vanguard of the next generation of Quantity Surveyors required in the construction industry, the
banks/other financial institutions, the oil and gas industry, the armed forces/police, the public service
and the academia of the future.

allowed to continue with the examination.
(l) Any candidate suspected of examination malpractice shall be required to submit to the invigilator a written
report immediately after the paper. Failure to make a report shall be regarded as a breach of discipline.
Such report should be forwarded along with the Invigilators report to the Vice-Chancellor.
(m) Where a Head of Department fails to forward a report on examination malpractice to the Vice-Chancellor
such action would be considered misconduct.
1.4.4 Pattern of Examination

(i) Each course shall be examined at the end of the course. The examination shall be conducted as prescribed by
Senate.
(ii) Each examination shall be 1-3 hours in duration. In addition there may be a practical paper and/or an oral
examination.
(iii) There shall be continuous assessment of each course and this shall constitute a percentage of the final grade.
1.4.4.1 Measurement of Performance
Performance in a course shall be measured in terms of:
16
(i) the results of prescribed theory and practical examination
(ii) continuous assessment which shall constitute 40% of measured performance
(iii) Assessment of such essay, practical exercises and reports prescribed for each course.
1.4.4.2 Level of Performance
A candidate shall be recorded as having attained in a Course a level of achievement graded as follows:
A = Excellent 70%-l00%
B = Very Good 60% 69%
C = Good 50-59%
D = Satisfactory 45%-49%
E = Adequate 40%-44%
F = Failure 0%-39%
1.4.4.3 Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)
The overall performance of each candidate during an entire semester shall be determined by means of a
weighted grade point average, obtained by awarding credit points in respect of each course multiplied
by the numerical value of the grade obtained as follows:
A = 5 credit point per unit

B = 4 “ “
C = 3 “ “
D = 2 “ “
E = 1 “ “
F = 0 “ “
The grade point average is the total number of credit points divided by the total number of units for all
courses taken during a particular semester.
1.4.4.4 Definition of Terms

(i) Student Workload: This is defined in terms of course units. One unit represents one hour of lecture or
one hour of Tutorial or 2-4 hours of practical work per week throughout a semester. Thus for example, a
course in which there are 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of Tutorial per week is a 3 unit course.
(ii) Total Number of Units (TNU): This is the total number of course units carried by a student in a particular
semester. It is the summation of the load Units on all Courses carried during the semester. For example, a
student who is carrying 6 courses of 3 units each has a TNU of 18 for that semester. No student shall be
allowed to carry (i.e. register for) or be examined in more than 24 units in any particular semester.
(iii) Cumulative Number of Units (CNU): This is the summation of total number of units over all the
semesters from the beginning to date. A student who is prone to repeating courses will finish (if he does
not drop out) with a higher CNU than his non-repeating colleague and will most likely require a longer
time to complete requirements for the award of Degrees.
(iv) Level of Performance Rating: This is the rating of grades obtained in terms of credit points per load unit.
The rating used is as follows:
17
Level of Performance Rating (Credit Points per Unit)
A = 70%-100% 5
B = 60%- 69% 4
C = 50%-59% 3
D = 45%-49% 2
E = 40%-44% 1
F = 0%-39% 0
Based on the above, a student who obtained a grade of ‘A’ in a 4-unit course has scored 20 Credit points,
and one who obtained a grade of C in that course has scored 12 Credit points.
(v) Total Credit Points (TCP): This is the sum of the products of the course units and rating in each course,
for the entire semester period. For example, consider a student who took 4 courses of 5 units each. Let's
say the grade obtained in the four courses were C.B.F.D. respectively. The TCP of this student is obtained
as 5x3+5x4+5x0+5x2 = 45.
(vi) Cumulative Credit Point (CCP): This is the summation of Total Credit Points over all semesters from
beginning to date.
(vii) Grade Point Average (GPA): This is the total credit points (TCP) divided by the total units (TNU). For
example, consider the student's scores referred to above. His TCP is 45, and of course, his TNU is 20 (i.e.
4 courses at 5 units each, for the semester). The highest GPA that can be earned is 5.0 and that is when a
student has earned a grade of 'A' in every course during the semester. The lowest GPA obtainable is 0.0
and this would happen if the student has F all round during the semester.
(viii) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): This is the summation of TCPs for all semesters, divided by
the summation of TNUs for the said semesters. Like the GPA, CGPA obtainable ranges from 0 to 5.
1.4.4.5 GPA and CGPA Sample Computations
Sample Computations: Consider a student who has enrolled in a course programme designated as
EES and has just completed 2 full semesters in the University. His course programme and his GPA and
CGPA could be as follows:
SEMESTER I

1.4.5 Assessment and Award of Degrees

(i) A student's workload is defined in terms of course units. One unit represents one hour of lecture or one
hour of tutorial, or 2-4 hours of practical work per week throughout a semester. All courses shall run for one
semester or a full session of two semesters.
(ii) The final award and the class of the degree shall be based on the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
obtained by each candidate in all prescribed courses approved by the University. The final cumulative grade
point average shall be calculated on the basis of the total number of credit points and the total number of course
units registered for during the course of the student's programme. In the case of a failed course, the candidate
must repeat the course at the next available opportunity. If the course is an elective, the candidate may substitute
another course and shall not be required to pass the failed elective course. If the course is a restricted elective,
substitution can only be made from the list of restricted electives. The failed grade would however be reflected
in the transcript.
(iii) A candidate who has satisfactorily completed all requirements for the degree with an overall grade point
average of not less than 1.50 shall be awarded the honours degree as indicated below:
First Class 4.50 - 5.00

Second Class (Upper Division) 3.50-4.49%
Second Class (Lower Division) 2.40 - 3.49%
Third Class Honours 1.50 2.39%
Pass 1.00 1.49%
(iv) Passes in 12 units of Special Electives is a requirement for graduation.
(v) A candidate who scores a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of less than 1.00 in two consecutive
semesters shall be required to withdraw from the University.

Introduction
Quantity surveying is primarily concerned with measurement, costing and management of resources
involved in building and engineering construction. It is concerned with the provision and analysis of
information for decision making and resource allocation in the built environment. Its very nature
requires that students have a broad knowledge base and acquire skills for managing and effectively
integrating strands of information from diverse subject areas. It is part of the larger built environment
subject domain that shares much of its knowledge base with other disciplines.
1. Philosophy
The philosophy of the Quantity Surveying programme is to produce graduates with a theoretical base
and practical skills that would be able to effectively plan and control project funds with particular
reference to accountability and probity in developmental projects.
2. Objectives
The objectives of the degree programme are as follows:
i. To produce graduates with the necessary theoretical understanding of the concepts of cost
and the ability to produce and analyse cost information with a view to applying them to
decision making.
ii. To provide an effective balance between education and industry training.
iii. Produce graduates that will be able to provide technical, managerial and financial services
to Building, Civil, Highways, Heavy engineering, Petrol-chemical, Manufacturing
Industries and the Public Service.
iv. Produce graduate that will be able to proceed to specialized areas of Quantity Surveying
that will lead to teaching, research and development.
v. To produce graduates who will become innovators and leaders and will be able to respond
to unfamiliar situations and solve problems by applying their skills and knowledge with
imagination in a multi-disciplinary environment.
In pursuit of these objectives, the programme will endeavour to provide training to students in the
following fields:
i. Preliminary cost advice and estimating

ii. Measurement of building works, civil and heavy engineering works, mechanical and electrical
engineering works
