The Department of Building has secured a one-year educational licence from a California- based construction management software company, Procore Technology Inc.
The licence, which is worth $20,000 (equivalent of N7million), would enable lecturers and students in the Built Environment to have free access to the Procore software. Procore staff would also be available to train staff and students on how to use the software and issue certification.
Procore is a versatile software for design coordination, financial management, e-bidding, construction management and safety management among others. It has both web and mobile applications.
UNILAG is the only institution in Nigeria and the second in Africa to secure a free Procore licence. Procore Technology Inc is currently partnering with 231 universities worldwide.
