Abstract
The major purpose of this study is to determine the effects of climate change on construction site, the challenges to overcome, and the effective skills needed to overcome the challenges. The design of the study is descriptive survey. The populations for the study are civil engineers, Structural engineers, Professional and nonprofessional experienced builders (the Sites managers and lecturers). The population were grouped into two groups; i. the civil engineers, Structural engineers and professional builders. and nonprofessional site Managers. ii, lecturers in building related trades such as architecture, structural engineers builders and quantity surveyors formed the second group. The total number of the population is 135. 135 questionnaires were distributed and collect back immediately after responded to, representing hundred percent. Two Lecturers from Adamawa State Polytechnic and two experience site managers validated the instrument. The data collected was analyzed using Mean, Standard deviation. The finding of the study revealed that climate change post challenges to the site managers, affects site management activities such as focusing, designs implementation and schedules of material supply there for affect the cost, time and the quality of the final product (building).
