Results proved a positive and significant relationship between warehousing management and construction project performance (r=0.696 and sig=0.00<0.01). Correlation between information sharing management with improved project time plan was significantly associated (Pearson correlation was 0.650, significance level was 0.000). Correlation between information sharing management and high quality was positively associated (Pearson correlation was 0.644, sign was 0.000).
