Abstract
This paper evaluates the modern technology in use by quantity surveying firms in Oyo state Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to identify the modern technologies in use by the quantity surveyors and the most adopted technology by quantity surveying firms in Oyo state. Primary data were obtained through the administration of questionnaire to quantity surveying firms selected from the 120 registered firms of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS) Oyo chapter with offices in Ibadan using simple random sampling technique. Data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the Mean Item Score. Findings from the study revealed that the commonly used modern technologies by quantity surveying firms includes Masterbills, Microsoft packages, QScad , Work mate, Autocad, Building Information Modeling (BIM), among others while the most adopted technology by quantity surveying firms in Ibadan is Microsoft packages . The study concludes that other technologies such as BIM, Workmate and Masterbill are rarely adopted by the quantity surveying firms in Oyo state and the study recommends an intensive training for registered quantity surveying firms on various modern technologies for effective service delivery.
