interview guide and a questionnaire with both open and closed-ended items were used to
collect data. Descriptive statistics showed that projects macro planning process had an
influence on performance of gated community housing construction projects.The value of
r
2 was 0.429, indicating that project macro planning process explained42.9% of the
variation in the performance in gated community housing projects in Nairobi County,
Kenya. The β coefficient was 0.655, indicating that project macro planning process had
statistically significant influence on the performance of gated community housing projects
(β=0.655, t=10.962, p=0.000<0.05). The β value implied that every unit change on the
