CRITICAL SUCCESSS FACTORS FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

This research deifines the critical factors that lead to project success, and provides a forecasting tool to enable parties to rapidly assess the possibility of a successful project from their viewpoint. The research consisted of the following tasks: define project success criteria; define ideal facility life-cycle functions; develop structured questionnaire; select projects; collect data from sites; analyze data; and develop guidelines for critical project success factors (CPSF). CPSFs applicable to building projects was studied based on established theoretical work in construction process modeling. The research identified a number of CPSFs based on extensive field research on 16 selected construction projects.
