Proper financing from ready local banks will help in the faster undertakings even in mega projects After evaluating the responses, it is easily to conclude that there is a relationship between project planning and timely completion of construction projects. Failure to plan is planning to fail. Both human resource and financial should be properly and adequately utilized for the success of the projects. Similar studies should be conducted on other organizations or different geographical areas such as Turkana County to ascertain the sustainability of such results of this study on the determinants of timely completion of construction projects in investment companies in Nairobi County.
