dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the effects of ineffective scheduling on the completion of construction projects, identified causes of poor planning and scheduling, and provided expert-recommended solutions. Using a mixed-method approach including online surveys, physical questionnaires, and statistical analysis (Relative Importance Index - RII, Reliability Test, and SPSS), the research analyzed data from 130 construction professionals in Nigeria. The most significant effects of ineffective scheduling were "Time Overrun" (RII = 0.8892) and "Cost Overrun" (RII = 0.8246), followed by "Compromise of Project Quality" (RII = 0.8077). The top causes identified were "Poor Decision-Making Regarding Activity Criticality" (RII = 0.8631), "Lack of Finance for Project Execution" (RII = 0.8492), and "Lack of Expertise in Scheduling" (RII = 0.8123). The study concludes by offering a comprehensive roadmap for stakeholders to enhance scheduling efficiency, reduce delays, and improve overall project performance through practical strategies such as accurate cost estimation, effective planning, stakeholder engagement, and the use of scheduling software.
