This study offers tertiary institutions the priority that should be accorded construction consultant selection criteria for their projects. Respectively, under each of these groups, the most important sub-criteria are: public policy requirements, confidentiality and trust, perceived professional competence and experience with similar projects. In their order of decreasing importance, the criteria for selection of the consultants were grouped into four, namely: firm and firm owners characteristics, project approach, capacity to accomplish the work, and past performance. Secondly, 16 randomly selected respondents to the first survey were surveyed again based on a reduced number of consultant selection criteria, and the data was analyzed using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). First, a survey of relevant staff of the institutions and their consultants (n=58) was made and analyzed using the RII technique. This study determined the order of priority of the criteria for the selection of consultants for public tertiary institution construction projects in Edo and Delta States. In spite of this, majority of projects in these institutions underperform due to poor management as a result of flaws in the selection of consultants. It is believed that the findings of this study will help the participants responsible for the delivery of educational buildings across the country to deliver cost effective buildings within the institutions.Īlmost all tertiary institutions' new construction projects in Nigeria have consultants.

The study revealed that the cost performance of these educational buildings is gradually improving as 4.78 percent deviation of final cost from initial estimated cost was discovered. Statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, Mean Item Score and Cronbach Alpha Test were employed in analysing the data gathered through questionnaire while Paired Samples T-Test was used to test the cost data gathered. Cost data of these selected projects were gathered through the use of pro forma in order to assess their cost performance, while questionnaire was administered on construction participants of the identified projects in order to determine the factors responsible for the cost performance. Thus, this study assessed the cost performance of educational buildings in Ondo State, Nigeria using selected building projects in five tertiary institutions. This situation is unhealthy for educational buildings which are executed with limited government funds.
