Exploring the Value of Project Management: Linking Project Management Performance and Project Success

Effects of cooperative procurement procedures on construction project performance: A conceptual framework

Drivers for green building : a review of empirical studies

The construction industry is dynamic in nature. The concept of project success has remained ambiguously defined in the construction industry. Project success is almost the ultimate goal for every project. However, it means different things to different people. While some writers consider time, cost and quality as predominant criteria, others suggest that success is something more complex. The aim of this paper is to develop a framework for measuring success of construction projects. In this paper, a set of key performance indicators (KPIs), measured both objectively and subjectively are developed through a comprehensive literature review. The validity of the proposed KPIs is also tested by three case studies. Then, the limitations of the suggested KPIs are discussed. With the development of KPIs, a benchmark for measuring the performance of a construction project can be set. It also provides significant insights into developing a general and comprehensive base for further research.

Key performance indicators for measuring construction success

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 (CSFs). 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, human-related factors, and external environment are identified as crucial to project success. Further study on the key performance indicators (KPIs) 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.

Factors Affecting the Success of a Construction Project

The construction industry is dynamic in nature. The concept of project success has
remained ambiguously defined in the construction industry. Project success is almost the ultimate
goal for every project. However, it means different things to different people. While some writers
consider time, cost and quality as predominant criteria, others suggest that success is something
more complex. The aim of this paper is to develop a framework for measuring success of
construction projects. In this paper, a set of key performance indicators (KPIs), measured both
objectively and subjectively are developed through a comprehensive literature review. The validity
of the proposed KPIs is also tested by three case studies. Then, the limitations of the suggested
KPIs are discussed. With the development of KPIs, a benchmark for measuring the performance of
a construction project can be set. It also provides significant insights into developing a general and
comprehensive base for further research.

Many construction researchers and industrial practitioners have investigated the concept of project success over the past few decades. However, no general consensus has been found as they have applied differing perspectives. This paper attempts to establish the success criteria for healthcare projects in Hong Kong through an empirical questionnaire survey. The questionnaire consists of 11 success criteria identified from a review of related literature. Fifty-two project participants completed the questionnaires to indicate the relative importance of success criteria for running healthcare projects. The ranking of the criteria, as assessed by the client and contractor groups was examined by the Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rs). A two-tailed t-test is further performed to compare the mean scores between different parties for each identified criterion. The statistical analyses revealed that ‘The client is satisfied with the performance of the project...
