Abstract

The research was carried out to appraise effect of prequalification in contractors’ selection process as a criteria used for building projects in the construction industry. Field survey in different construction industry in Lagos State was conducted. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaires; 40 questionnaires were distributed to construction professionals of which 35 were retrieved. The questionnaires collected randomly and analyzed. Information gathered include; the major contractors’ prequalification criteria, the sub contractors’ prequalification criteria and extent of verification of contractor’s document used to asses contractors on building construction works. Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data collected. The research discovered that the professionals considered technical capacity more important among the major prequalification criteria. Organization reputation was not appreciated, the professionals considered it very important. ‘Past performance and quality’ among the sub contractors’ prequalification criteria, responses considered it very important and political consideration with responses considered it very important. Also, ‘evidence of incorporation of name and registration’ among the evidence of document and information submitted for prequalification, with the respondent considered it as the most important. It can be concluded that some criteria were considered as not important, this is evident by the lack of percentage score allocation to those criteria. It also reveals that, incorrect information, lack of proper documentation, past client relationship are some of the problems encountered during prequalification. The study recommends that, professionals should aspire to understand, adopt and implement the requirements of contractors’ prequalification criteria of building project. Different organizations should standardize respective building construction prequalification practices in putting into consideration all criteria on contractors’ prequalification checklist with percentage score allocation to each criterion. Key words: Construction, Contractors, Pre- Qualification, Professionals and Project
