This study examined the effect of project planning on the success of construction projects in Nyarugenge district with a case of Fair construction Ltd. The target population for this study was 400 employees of Fair construction Ltd and the sample size was 200 employees. Study used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, both qualitative and quantitative were used to analyse the data with assistance of SPSS software program version 25.0 descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to present frequencies tables, percentages, mean and standard deviation and Inferential analysis was used in order to use Pearson correlation and multiple regression model to test the relationship between the independent variables and dependent variable. Qualitative and quantitative analysis used descriptive statistics in order produce frequency tables, percentages and mean. Inferential statistics were used in order to use person correlation and multiple regression models to test and draw relationship between variables both for independent and dependent; the influence of communication during planning on success of construction projects in Nyarugenge District. The overall means of results was 4.50, the effects of resource scheduling on the on success of construction projects in Nyarugenge. The overall means of results was 4.42, and the effect of Human resource planning on success of construction projects in Nyarugenge District. The overall means of results was 4.31, the data of Success of project was analyzed, the overall means of results was 4.52, depending on the results, it presented that the success of construction projects was on good grades. It revealed that the relationship between Project planning and success of construction project between Communication, Resource scheduling, Human Resource planning and success of project was 0.947, 0.881, and 0.932 respectively, and the results presented than the variables were statistically significant with p value=0.000b. The results presented the variables of Project planning, the results on Communication was statistically significant with p value=0.000b, the Human resource planning was statistically significant with p value=0.016b and the Resource scheduling was not statistically significant with p value=0.987b. It concluded that there was a significant relationship between Project planning and Success of project. The study recommended that MINIFRA should sensitize Rwandan citizen to be involved in well planned project of Construction activities in order to earn money thus self-economy enhancement.
