Efficient equipment acquisition and maintenance are critical factors influencing the success of construction projects. However, many construction firms face significant challenges in acquiring and maintaining essential equipment, which impacts project timelines, cost efficiency, and overall productivity. This study explores the extent to which construction firms in Abuja, Nigeria, effectively manage construction equipment acquisition and maintenance. Drawing on relevant literature and industry insights, the research examines financial, managerial, and operational constraints that hinder optimal equipment utilization. The findings highlight that limited access to capital, high maintenance costs, and inadequate managerial strategies are key barriers to equipment efficiency. Additionally, poor maintenance practices often result in frequent equipment breakdowns, leading to project delays and increased costs. The study underscores the importance of strategic investment in construction equipment, improved maintenance policies, and government intervention in providing financial support for firms. By addressing these challenges, construction firms can enhance their operational capacity, improve project delivery timelines, and maximize efficiency in the industry
