In view of this, some factors negatively affecting the performance of construction labour were identified and proceeded further to know how these factors vary from site to site. The study area was the southwestern Nigeria and while forty questionnaires were administered to contractors, one hundred questionnaires were used to sample the opinions of labour in forty construction sites.
