In project management, planning is the tool that is used to analyzing each activity and its relationship to the one that come before and after it. Planning establish relationships, identify resources needed to complete each task, and highlight the activities that, if late, could jeopardize the overall completion date. The several parties engaged in a building project are exposed to different forms of risk and, as a result, their interest in work planning is likely to vary. The scope and detail of planning will also vary according to factors such as the type of project, its location, how the project is organised and the economic climate. The perception of risk by clients, project managers and design consultants may play a part in determining the amount of planning that they decide to do and how much money are prepared spend on it. This study will focus on the Construction of Hotel and Office Tower on Plot Z10, Precinct 1, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya and Construction of 14 Blocks 230 Units Shop Offices and 28 Units Penthouse ( Phase 5) on Lot PB 1, City Centre 1, Kota Damansara, Mukim Sungai Buluh, Daerah Petaling, Selangor. The objective of this study is to identify and prioritizes the problems that occur due to improper planning during the construction of the two projects and identify and prioritize the factor that caused the problems. Pilot survey is conducted to develop and test adequacy of questionnaire and assess the feasibility of the survey. Progress reports for each project are analyzed and surveys and interviews are conducted to identify and prioritize problems that occurred during the construction and determine the factors that caused the problems. A few recommendations are made to overcome the problems.
