Appraisal of facility provisions in public-private partnership housing delivery in southwest Nigeria

Abstract

The impact of facility provisions within housing environs cannot be overemphasized. It represents the backbone of housing development, stabilizes occupant satisfaction level, and improves living conditions of residents. It is on this premise that this study appraises facility provisions within Public-Private Partnership (PPP) constructed estates in three (3) South-western states of Nigeria to determine the provider of the major facilities in PPP housing within the study area. A quantitative research method was adopted for the study with the use of questionnaires emerging for data collection. The questionnaire was administered to 90 residents of housing units within the selected estates in which 88 questionnaires were retrieved. The study shows that apart from providing the building structures and finance, the private sector provides potable water for consumption and domestic use, waste management and disposal, the connection of PPP residential houses to the national electrical grid, and provision of a network of roads within the estates linking the government provided main access road. The study recommended that in providing facilities for any future PPP housing delivery system, parties involved in the provisions of required facilities need to understand the end-user’s facility needs.
