Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify barriers facing the adoption of Intelligent Building System in the Construction and Building Industry. The study used the Survey design. Well-structured questionnaires were administered to registered Construction professionals. Although just 120 questionnaires were returned, a total of 176 questionnaires were distributed to obtain information from construction professionals namely; Quantity surveyors, Architects, Engineers and Builders practising in Ondo State, Nigeria. Mean item score was used as the basic analytical tool for ranking in order of relative importance. Results showed a lot of barriers inhibiting the IBS adoption, of which Poor maintenance culture stands tallest, and closely behind it are Cost and Erratic power supply. The barrier that posed the least threat is, however, Organisational support. The study concluded that these barriers are common barriers facing Africa, and a lot of focus has to dwell on the positives that will arise from IBS adoption rather than focusing on the endless barriers.
