Resumo

A profissão de topógrafo de edifícios é um campo emergente de especialização que os profissionais da indústria de construção nigeriana ainda não adotaram. Este estudo, portanto, visa investigar as barreiras que restringem a aceitação da profissão e sugerir medidas para a sua sobrevivência entre outras profissões no ambiente construído nigeriano. Foi adoptada uma estratégia de pesquisa de inquérito para obter dados empíricos de 108 especialistas em construção na Nigéria, que foram seleccionados aleatoriamente. Os dados coletados foram analisados utilizando Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS versão 23.0) e Microsoft Excel. O estudo revelou que as barreiras que restringiam a prática de topografia de edifícios na Nigéria eram a falta de sensibilização do público, as oportunidades limitadas de educação e formação e a resistência das profissões existentes. Ao mesmo tempo, o desenvolvimento de melhores relações, a revisão do currículo académico e a sensibilização foram estratégias-chave para a sua adoção. O estudo conclui que a profissão de topógrafo de edifícios é considerada importante pela maioria dos profissionais da construção na Nigéria e possui perspectivas significativas, mas é limitada pela falta de consciência pública e pela resistência das profissões existentes no ambiente construído. Recomenda-se, portanto, que os inspectores de edifícios reforcem as suas relações com os organismos profissionais existentes. Isto pode ser conseguido através do estabelecimento de fóruns periódicos para partilha de ideias e colaboração.
