THE ROLES OF QUANTITY SURVERORS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP HOUSING PROJECTS IN PLATEAU STATE
Abstract
The persistent housing deficit in Plateau State, Nigeria, has prompted the adoption of PublicPrivate Partnerships (PPPs) to deliver affordable housing. The study aims to evaluate the role
quantity surveyors play in the implementation of housing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to
provide affordable housing for the growing population of the residents of Plateau State. The
objective includes: To identify the relevance of housing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to the
economic growth of Plateau State, to investigate the roles of Quantity surveyors in such projects,
to investigate the challenges faced by Quantity surveyors in its implementation, to evaluate
and suggest solutions to the challenges faced by Quantity surveyors in the implementation of
housing Public-Private Partnerships in Plateau state. Employing a descriptive survey design, data
was collected from 79 professionals, including QS, architects, engineers, and government officials,
using a structured questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS. The results revealed
that housing PPPs moderately contribute to economic growth (M = 3.57) through job creation,
infrastructure improvement, and investment attraction, though affordability remains a challenge
(M = 4.11). QS demonstrated high proficiency in value engineering (M = 4.25) and legal
compliance (M = 4.10) but showed gaps in financial management (M = 2.80) and contract
administration (M = 2.50), attributed to limited PPP experience (25.3%) and early-career
respondents (78.5% with
