Abstract

Project planning is an integral content in the management and execution of construction projects. However, it is challenging to implement and properly keep these plans to work. The study evaluates the factors influencing construction project planning and implementation on construction sites. It takes logical attempts and procedure to analyse the perceptions of respondents on these factors. This study adopted questionnaire survey to gather factors influencing construction project planning and implementation from professionals working in construction firms in south western Nigeria. A total of 108 respondents selected through random sampling techniques participated in the survey. Ranking analysis of the major factors using Relative Importance Index showed that type of client and type of project were the top two factors influencing project planning while insufficient finance and changes in client requirements were the top two factors influencing implementation of project plans. The study also revealed statistically significant difference in the perceptions of the respondents to some of the factors when classified into different groups. The study concludes that the knowledge of the identified factors influencing project planning and implementation will assist construction stakeholders in re-evaluating their project planning endeavors and methods in order to enhance them and in this manner enhancing the performance of construction projects.
