Abstract
This research work assessed the entrepreneurial skills of Quantity Surveying consultants in FCT Abuja. It identified the entrepreneurial skills of Quantity Surveying practitioners in Abuja, studied the factors affecting the adoption of entrepreneurial skills among Quantity Surveying practitioners in Nigeria and determined the effect of entrepreneur skills of Quantity Surveyors on the service delivery of their firms. Data were obtained through questionnaires administered to 24 Quantity Surveyors working in Abuja, selected through random and sampling techniques. The data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentiles and mean ranking. The study noted that Quantity Surveyors practicing in Abuja are satisfactorily utilizing all identified entrepreneurial skills, however, the national economic climate, Government policies and poor technological capacity are strong factors inhibiting the effective utilization of the identified entrepreneurial skills. The study, therefore, recommended that Quantity Surveying firms in Abuja should key into the implementation of the identified entrepreneurial skills in their operations to increase their work performance. The government is also advised to create an enabling environment to encourage the growth and development of Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs).
