Abstract. The elements included in project management start from goals and end with the end product. Undesirable project execution is the biggest issue influencing development industries all over Nigeria and generally creating nations, where endeavors are being made to utilize project execution evaluation to screen and control projects to guarantee favorable results. The objectives are to determine the performance dimension of construction industries within Kano Metropolis and to identify and analyze the factors affecting the performance of construction projects. The data used was through a designed questionnaire. 100 questionnaires were distributed to the project participants of which 70 were returned. The data was analyzed using Simple Descriptive Statistics including Frequency distribution, Percentages, Tables, Bar-chart and Pie-chart, to assess the performance of the construction project. This research indicated that the most important construction stages are the designing, constructing, tendering, briefing, and commissioning stages which possessed 32.9%, 24.3%, 21.4%, 14.3%, and 7.1% respectively. The most important performance dimensions are; quality, time, and cost. The factors affecting project performance are delays, changes in material prices, lack of qualified personnel, poor quality equipment, political reasons, and weather conditions.
