This study presents exploratory work and seeks to identify and
evaluate the success and failure factors that could form a
guideline for further study and to some extent help professionals
to understand some critical aspects that impact project performance
concerning construction in India. A total of 55 attributes
affecting the performance of construction projects are analysed in
terms of their level of influence on four key performance criteria
- schedule, cost, quality, and no disputes - using a two-stage
questionnaire survey. These attributes are then further analysed,
interpreted and evaluated. Based on the critical success factors
obtained from the study, a neural network model-based predictive
model for project performance has been developed. The performance
prediction models have been derived for all four project
performance criteria. Further, a hypothesis that 'project success'
is influenced by 'success traits' has also been formulated. The
hypothesized positive inter-relationships between success traits
and project success have been tested using the structural equation
modelling technique. Besides supporting the intuition of past
researchers in recognizing 'coordination' as a key success factor,
this study has revealed that coordination is not an isolated and
independent activity, but is a typical management function with an
inherent role in all major management activities. Key elements
affecting coordination have also been identified and their
influence on coordination effort has been studied. Furthermore, the
present study has also identified three broad skill groups required
of effective project coordinators. The results are validated
through case studies of live projects and structured interviews
with experts in the field of construction management.
