Diverse measures have been proposed to arrest the problem of time ove
rrun in large construction projects that involve the use of plants and equ
ipments. In the quest for the best possible solution to this problem in a
developing country like Nigeria, this research assesses the impacts of pl
ants and equipment’s hiring on project time delivery. It proffers measur
es for enhancing construction time performance in large construction pr
ojects reflecting the peculiarity of the Nigerian construction environme
nts. The aim was achieved by finding the major source of hiring equip
ment in the state and establishing the relationship between equipment u
sage and project delivery time. The population for the study consisted o
f 75 identified equipment hiring firms and registered contractors in On
do State. Data collection was through the use of well-structured questio
nnaires. The data were analyzed using statistical tools such as correlatio
n, ANOVA and regression analysis. Kendall coefficient established a si
gnificant relationship between plants/equipment’s hiring and project del
ivery time with the asymptotic significant probability of 0.034 less than
the 0.05 level of significance. Thus the work submits that usage of equi
pment enhances productivity but when hired, it should be efficient ones
within well planned time to ensure effective project delivery
