A Review On Critical Success Factors In Construction Project

Critical Success Factor (CSF) is necessary in construction industry to achieve its goal. Construction industry in India has shown a significant development in recent years and its effect on environment has also increased. Building projects are becoming more difficult and complex nowadays. The project team is facing unprecedented changes. Building maintenance play an important role compared to other factors in building operation. Also, construction research and development process has various factors which affect its success. The earlier approach to success in the construction industry places great emphasis on the ability to plan and implement projects. In the past, companies completing projects in a timely manner within a stipulated budget and meeting optimum quality have been considered successful companies. Minimizing an importance on management practices and organizational stability, companies with successful project completion have been considered as top-performers. In contrast, other industries insist management practices at a corporate level as an essential element of success. However, the future environment of the construction company will be different due to technological and economic advancements. The critical success factors are considered to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the project. The aim of this study is to identify the critical success factor, analyse them and point out which critical factors are important in stages of construction. Some of the factors are identified as crucial to success of the project.

Critical Success Factors Influencing Performance of Construction Projects

International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2015

The study of project success and the critical success factors (CSFs) is considered to be a mean for improving the effectiveness of project. Performance can be assured by identifying and eliminating the factors that cause poor project outcomes. Thus, project managers need better understanding of critical success/failure factors and how to measure them. The purpose of this study is to systematically investigate the causes of project failure and how these can be prevented, managed, or controlled. Constructions projects are frequently influenced by success factors' which can help project parties reach their intended goals with greater efficiency. The aim of this study is to investigate the critical factors leading to construction company success. Many critical success factors such as factors related to project manager's performance, factors related to organization, factors related to project, factors related to external environment became apparent from this study. This study will helpful to identify factors that influence project success.

Analysis of Critical Success Factors for Construction Projects

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET), 2018

Each project is led by tenured construction management professionals with a proven track record of expertise, value, creation, quality construction and customer satisfaction. In every construction projects, the main thing required by any user is quality of work, on time or on schedule deliverables & in budget. But the planned work will different from the actual on site work. So the project team is facing some challenging but unexpected changes. Therefore to study this, the critical success factors can work for this. By this we can atleast organize or will minimize the things happening. This study of critical success factors will improve the effectiveness & efficiency of construction work with the condition of sufficient availability of materials. This study is conducted in order to identify, analyze, & rank the various critical success factors which are directly or indirectly related to the construction projects and which will improve and focus the areas which we want to work. The Relative Importance Index method helps us in analyzing the critical success factors.

Critical success factors for construction project

Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols, 2016

A construction project failure primarily defined as disappointment in either one or the combination of cost, time, quality, and management. This study is an effort to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and the relationship between various attributes of a project success. A preliminary comprehensive literature study of previous research works served as the basis of the CSFs, which will be the guide factors to predict the probability of a project success. At the end of the study, the contribution of each critical success factor to the project success will be established.

Critical Success Factors : En Route for Success of Construction Projects

2016

The study of critical success factors is a means of improving effectiveness and efficiency of projects. Critical success factors have been identified in various contexts but there is no general agreement. Most of these studies are too generic and pose a question of applicability on a specific industry such as construction. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify critical success factors through a critical literature review with special attention on project execution stage of construction projects and to identify research gaps to be filled in the future. 40 external factors and 34internal factors were identified. 10 external factors and 19internal factors are repeated in 3 or more papers. More researches are needed on the relationship between critical human resource management factors and project success. Findings are instrumental for industry professionals, academics and policy makers. Further, it will add to the project management body of knowledge.

Factors Affecting Success of Construction Project

The construction industry is dynamic in nature due to the increasing uncertainties in technology, budgets, and development processes. Nowadays, building projects are becoming much more complex and difficult. The project team is facing unprecedented changes. The study of project success and the critical success factors ~CSFs! are considered to be a means to improve the effectiveness of project. However the concept of project success has remained ambiguously defined in the mind of the construction professionals. Various attempts were made by different researchers to determine CSFs in construction. A number of variables influencing project success have been proposed. Some variables are common to more than one list, but there is no general agreement on the variables. This Project examines the success factors and determines which success factor is more critical in a successful completion of a project. From literature review and past studies, it was obtained that there were different directions and methodologies used in order to achieve the required target, goals and objectives. A structured questionnaire survey approach is considered to study the impact of various attributes and factors affecting success. The relative importance index method (RII) is used here to determine owners, consultants and contractors perceptions. In this study 63 factors affecting the success of construction projects are selected. These factors are grouped into 10 groups with the help of different literature reviews.

Factors Affecting the Success of a Construction Project

Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2004

Different researchers have tried to determine the factors for a successful project for a long time. Lists of variables have been abounded in the literature, however, no general agreement can be made. The aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework on critical success factors ͑CSFs͒. Seven major journals in the construction field are chosen to review the previous works on project success. Five major groups of independent variables, namely project-related factors, project procedures, project management actions, humanrelated factors, and external environment are identified as crucial to project success. Further study on the key performance indicators ͑KPIs͒ is needed to identify the causal relationships between CSFs and KPIs. The causal relationships, once identified, will be a useful piece of information to implement a project successfully.

Integrated model of critical success factors of construction projects: A case of Esfahan

2018

Nowadays, the construction managers try to accomplish the projects on time and successful simultaneously. However, the concept of success is not clear in their mind. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that effect on project success in the construction field; so, an integrated model of critical success factor for construction projects has been suggested. The proposed model consists of three categories of variables, i.e. people related factors, project related factors, and environmental factors. This model clarifies the definition of success in the mind of construction professionals and develops the critical success factors for construction projects through prior research. The novelty of this research is the comprehensive view of critical success factors in an integrated model format. The model has been tested on construction project managers in Esfahan. Findings show that in Esfahan the success of construction projects depends on people, project, and environment rel...

Critical Success Factors for Different Organizations in Construction Projects

ICSDEC 2012, 2012

Researchers have been compiling lists of key factors the presence or absence of which have determined the success or failure of projects. Early researches of critical success factors were largely theory based; subsequent researches employed the use of statistics and continuously refined methods like neural network and the analytical hierarchy process. Over the passage of time, the focus has narrowed down from broad generalization of 'projects' to 'project classes'.

Criteria for Construction Project Success: A Literature Review

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016

Execution of construction projects in an efficient and effective way is a core competency of project-based organizations. Evaluation of project success plays a key role in improving project management competency. Project success is an elusive topic and goes beyond project management success and traditional criteria. The lack of an agreed definition and a set of criteria for construction project success have long been the reasons for failing to evaluate success. The main possible causes for such disagreement would be the abstract nature of the concept itself and studies including different industry projects and different participants' viewpoints with different priorities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to define construction project success and to develop a framework with a practical set of measurement criteria to evaluate the same. This study has followed the Systematic Review Approach recommended by Tranfield et al. (2003). The recommended checklist by Saunders et al. (2007) was used to ensure the criticality of the review. A definition for Construction Project Success and ten criteriasubjective and objective have been identified. The criteria are Time, Cost, Quality, Safety, Client's Satisfaction, Employees' Satisfaction, Cash-flow Management, Profitability, Environment Performance and Learning and Development. The paper stresses the need for a longterm perspective rather than having a short-term perspective of Construction Project Success. Further, it has disentangled complications in literature over some criteria such as Quality and Satisfaction. Employee Satisfaction and Learning & Development have been completely overlooked as a result of short term perspective. Criteria should facilitate measuring project success during the execution stage as well as at the end of the project. It is recommended that, through the studies of relationships between critical success factors and success criteria a stronger model to ensure project success could be established. Proposed framework will be tested in Sri Lankan context in future and findings would be added to the project management body of knowledge. Proposed framework will be instrumental for filling the existing empirical gaps.
