The study therefore sought to evaluate the perquisites of work force for enhanced productivity in construction projects. The following constituted the objectives of the study; to identify the perquisites that exist in the construction projects at the Krowoh Municipal Assembly and identify the relevance of perquisites in increasing productivity in construction at the Krowoh Municipal Assembly. The Assembly has an estimated population of about 120 working staff. A 30% of the population thus 30 sample was used for the study.
