    Abstract: In proffering solutions to emerging global environmental challenges: management, risks and opportunities toward effective participation and performance of construction small and medium enterprises financial management challenges. This study necessitated the appraisal of project financing options for construction small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Nigerian built environment. Variables options were identified from an intensive literature review and grouped into six primary sources; commercial banking, traditional sources, non-financial institutions, modern financing arrangement, world bank related and non-interest (Islamic banking) as requirements to develop a framework for the selection of appropriate project financing options available for construction SMEs to determine most suitable project financing options. The research data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires. Three hundred and sixty-three (363) questionnaires were administered randomly to some selected construction SMEs in Abuja.

  • ADVANCED EXCEL PROGRAMMING OF TIME VALUE OF MONEY IN THE CONTEXT OF REAL ESTATE FINANCING   Order a copy of this article
    by Adedeji Badiru, Andreas Mertens 
    Abstract: The research objective of this paper is to develop a practical and functional software tool to serve the needs of both practitioners and researchers in the mortgage industry. The software development capitalizes on published research available in the literature, as documented by the cited references. The spreadsheet tool presented in this paper carries out computational and graphical analyses of loan-based investments at the intersection of real estate and economics. The effort is thereby designed to referee the impact of the time value of money on real estate finance from a capital investment perspective. Based on specific data entries, the utilised methodology leverages basic and advanced modules to generate comprehensive information for the assessment of mortgage repayments or the corporate financial strategy related to real estate financing scenarios. The paper has practical implications, particularly in the light of real estate transactions: The computational spreadsheet program modules, calculations and visualisations can pertinently guide mortgage situations and provide a fertile toolbox for financial decisions made by investors.
    Keywords: Time value of money; real estate investment; loan amortization; corporate financial strategy; equity break-even point.
