Measuring project success in the construction industry
The ability to identify key attributes of project success is important to project owners, contractors and designers. Understanding the attributes of success contributes to the efficient execution of an construction project. The measurement of project success in the construction industry has traditionally been grounded in the industry-accepted classic, objective success metrics: cost, schedule, performance and safety. Initial research has indicated that there are more subjective considerations that, while being difficult to quantify, can have an important impact on perceptions of project success. During ongoing project management research, the authors recognised the need for a measurement tool that would account for subjective, as well as objective metrics, in assessing project success. The resulting Construction Project Success Survey (CPSS) instrument is designed to investigate how experienced construction project management personnel perceive project success, both objectively and subjectively.
