Peterson Njaramba Macharia, Dr. Josephat Kwasira

Abstract


Purpose: The main objective of this study was to assess the influence of PMIS integration in project planning on the performance of NGCDF projects in Thika Town Constituency, Kiambu County, Kenya.

Methodology: This study used a mixed design of descriptive and explanatory designs to establish the relationship between PMIS integration and the performance of building construction projects in Kiambu County in Kenya. The study targeted 185 building construction projects in the last 5 financial years and 665 respondents.  A sample of 250 was obtained using Slovin’s formula. The study used stratified, purposive, and simple random sampling techniques. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. A pilot study was also done on 10% of the sample to check for validity and reliability of the questionnaire.  The study used descriptive analysis, content analysis and inferential analysis.

Findings: The study found PMIS project planning had a positive (β1=0.435) significant influence (p value= 0.000) on performance of NGCDF building construction projects.

Recommendations: The study recommends that NGCDF management should prioritize the adoption of advanced PMIS planning tools and invest in training project staff on their application to strengthen project scheduling, forecasting, and monitoring. NGCDF committees and project managers should also strengthen PMIS planning practices through trainings.

Keywords: PMIS planning, performance of projects, NGCDF building construction projects, Thika town constituency
