Abstract
This study examines contract planning on construction projects from clients’ perspective and its effects on performance. The objectives are to determine the contract planning practices applied in the Nigerian construction industry, assess the awareness and usage of contract planning tools and techniques applied by clients on construction projects, evaluate factors affecting contract planning practices on construction projects and determine its effects on performance of construction projects. A cross-sectional design was employed where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study. The targeted sample size was 132 respondents out of a total population of 241 road construction stakeholders. The findings indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between monitoring intensity, risk management, evaluation and performance of road construction projects in the study context. The performance of the road construction projects in Imo State was more related to the availability and use of resources which include funding, human resources and the basic raw materials used in the construction process which results into delays, cost overruns and poor quality service. Based on these study findings it is therefore recommended that Imo State should commit more resources to evaluation and risk management to realize higher level of service delivery in the road construction sector.
