Construction project development involves numerous parties, various processes, different phases and stages of work with the major aim being to bring the project to a successful conclusion. The level of success in carrying out construction project development activities depends heavily on the quality of the managerial, financial, technical and organizational performance of the respective parties. The paper examines the criteria for measuring the performance of construction site managers in Lagos State and identifies the factors influencing the performance of construction site managers. These were with a view to enhancing project delivery. The target population for the study is mainly the construction site managers in the eighty-eight (88) construction firms registered under the Lagos State Tender Board. The construction firms were stratified to three sizes with sixteen (16) firms, thirty-nine (39) firms and thirty-three (33) as large, medium and small respectively. A total enumeration survey of these constructions was carried out and Two (2) construction site managers were surveyed in each of the construction firms to obtain a total of 176 respondents. The data were analyzed with the use of percentages, relative importance index (RII) and mean item
score (MIS). Age of worker was found to be the most important criterion for measuring the performance of construction site managers in small firms, Medium firms are only concerned about the absence of defects and rework and Large firms require their site managers to serve as the face of the firm and the level of experience and education of site managers is a major criterion for measuring the performance of site managers in large firms. Overall, findings suggest that for the effective performance of a site manager in any of the firm categories management, leadership, negotiating skills, integrity cannot be overlooked.
