TLDR
In this paper, a set of key performance indicators (KPIs), measured both objectively and subjectively are developed through a comprehensive literature review, and the validity of the proposed KPIs is also tested by three case studies.Abstract:
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.read more

Effects of cooperative procurement procedures on construction project performance: A conceptual framework
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a testable holistic procurement framework that examines how a broad range of procurement related factors affects project performance criteria and proposed that these relationships are moderated or mediated by the collaborative climate (i.e., the trust and commitment among partners) in the project and moderated by the overall project characteristics.

A new framework for determining critical success/failure factors in projects
Walid Belassi,Oya Iemeli Tukel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new scheme that classifies the critical factors, and describes the impacts of these factors on project performance, and the results are encouraging, in that practitioners support the use of this scheme for determining and analysing critical success factors and how systems respond to these factors.

The role of project management in achieving project success
A. K. Munns,BF Bjeirmi +1 more
TL;DR: The role of different project management techniques to implement projects successfully has been widely established in areas such as the planning and control of time, cost and quality as discussed by the authors. In spite of this the distinction between the project and project management is less than precise.

Criteria of project success: an exploratory re-examination
C.S Lim,M Zain Mohamed +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the issues from different perspectives of people looking at the project and propose to classify project success into two categories: the macro and micro viewpoints, and suggest that two criteria are sufficient to determine the macro viewpoint of project success: completion and satisfaction.
