. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024AbstractRationally, a well-constructed building is anticipated to serve as a haven of comfort, shieldingindividuals from various fears and stressors. A structure deemed standard should possess theresilience to withstand the test of time, contingent upon the absence of any quality gaps in itsconstruction. Adherence to the lean six-sigma methodology and other safety and ethicalstandards in the construction stage is imperative for ensuring durability. Unfortunately, this idealscenario is not universally evident, particularly in certain countries. Nigeria, for example,grapples with a disconcerting surge in building collapses, accompanied by tales of grief and loss.In spite of the growth in Nigeria's real
