Most Important Success Factors in a Construction Project: A Review

Abdul Hameed, Dr J. R. Pitroda, A. N. Bhavsar

Abstract


The study of critical success factors (CSFs) can considerably promote the efficiency and effectiveness of projects. There is a lack of consensus among academics on what constitutes a critical success component. Studies on the use of CSFs in particular sectors like as construction tend to ask broad questions regarding their potential. Research has indicated that cost, time, quality and management are prominent determinants of project success. This paper show contains the overall contribution percentages of success factors in projects. Based on the literature review, we can conclude that project success mainly depends on meeting the predetermined project cost, time and quality and assigning the right members for each team. Technology, on the other hand, is a critical component in the success of building projects, as has been shown. The purpose of this study is to identify, evaluate, and rank the primary elements that impact the quality performance (QP) of small-scale contractors (SSC). In addition, this paper investigates the overall relevance of CSFs in the context of building construction. Finally, it provides recommendations for enhancing and improving projects results. The relative importance index (RII) is the basis for analyzing and ranking all factors in this document. The study results confirm the top three factors that would deteriorate quality performance are fraudulent practices, poor coordination between project stakeholders and lack of a robust monitoring and feedback mechanism.
