Abstract

Project planning is an essential element in the management and execution of construction projects. The knowledge of the planning processes will influence its ultimate implementation. The study therefore assesses the professionals’ level of awareness of project planning processes in the Nigerian construction industry. A total of 108 questi onnaires were administered to professionals in construction firms in Lagos state. A quantitative research method was adopted. Stratified sampling technique was used. Data was obtained through the use of structured questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using frequency and mean. The result showed that professionals have high level of awareness of the planning processes. However it was discovered that amongst the 10 knowledge areas, project risk management has the least level of awareness followed by communication management. The study concluded that the knowledge of these planning processes will enhance project performance and hence recommends that trainings on risk and communication management should be conducted by the professional bodies for their members. Also these planning processes should be strictly adhere to in order to improve project performance
