Abstract: This paper aims to prioritise constraints to effective time management in the South African construction industry. Construction time is a basis for evaluating the success of a project and the efficiency of the project organisation. The study was limited to views expressed by registered members of the CIOB-South Africa in the Gauteng Province. The data was analysed using multi-attribute methods, content analysis and bi-variate analysis, involving rank order correlation tests. The findings of the study reveal the appropriateness of time management techniques as used by practitioners in scheduling various projects, prioritised or key constraints to effective time management, and ways of improving on-time project delivery. These findings will benefit the key role players in project development namely; clients, consultants and contractors in effective time management policy formulation and implementation.
