Abstract
A survey was conducted on a sample of seven construction companies in Lagos State to investigate the extent of usage of a management technique: Programme Budgeting. It is a type of management technique that can be used to solve planning problems related to projects’ budget and expenditure. The study reveals that project planning problem exist averagely in construction companies; the usage of technique is very low; four reasons were adduced to its non-usage and; as many as six ‘alternative techniques’ that are used in-lieu of it are observed. The study therefore recommends its usage to combat planning problems.
