Abstract
In recent years collaboration amongst project players has drawn much attention within the field of construction
management. Several case studies support the argument that collaboration has positive effects on project performance.
There is however, a need for quantitative studies investigating statistical relationships between collaboration and
project performance, The purpose of this study is to investigate how collaborative tools affect collaboration and further
collaboration's effect on project performance. The empirical data was collected through a survey responded to by 106
construction professionals within FCT Abuja. Results from hierarchical regression analyses show a positive
relationship between collaborative tools and collaboration suggesting that joint activities are crucial for collaboration
to emerge. A positive relationship was also found between collaboration and project performance. The statistical
results support previous case study findings where collaboration is positively affected by joint activities and project
performance is enhanced by collaboration.
