This study investigates how professionals adapt the use of project management tools and techniques of planning, monitoring and control (PM&C) within the context of Nigerian construction industry to manage schedule performance for positive project outcome. A cross-sectional research design was adopted, and a survey was conducted among 122 construction professionals for this investigation. Analysis of the data collected was achieved by using IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 26) predictive analytic software. Findings reveal four and three top contemporary tools/techniques used in engineering and building projects for both planning and monitoring respectively, and their impact on schedule performance of construction projects. While there was a significant positive correlation between tools and techniques used for planning and monitoring with schedule performance, the study did not find a correlation between the control tools/techniques with schedule performance. It was recommended that construction managers could use these findings as checklist for good practice and to improve schedule performance while mitigating construction time overrun.enSchedule performancetime overrunproject managementtime controlconstruction managementArticle
