Abstract

This research assessed and compared the delivery of facilities management services in public high rise
residential buildings in Lagos, Nigeria. The objectives include the examination of service delivery method,
assessment of the quality of service and determination of resident’s satisfaction of the FM services. The
methodology adopted is quantitative research and data were collected with use of questionnaire. The response
options to the questions were ranked using the 5-point Likert scale. A total of 111 questionnaires were served in
the two case studies. However, only 84 were retrieved, 57 from Eko Court and 27 from Boyle Street.
Cumulatively 75.67% of the questionnaires were filled and retuned. The study finds that most of the services
expected in high rise buildings are available in the case studies and the services are outsourced. The residents of
the estates are relatively satisfied with the quality of service they are being provided with. However, the Eko
Court residents exhibited a higher level of satisfaction. This infers that the quality of services provided in Eko
Court is relatively better than what is obtainable in Boyle Street. The difference in level of satisfaction between
the two estates is attributed to location and social class of people residing in the estates. The expectation of the
residents with regards to each service is also a factor. The study recommends improved standardization of
services, customized services and management of customer’s expectation as ways of improving service
delivery.
