This paper proposes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a tool to rank different critical success factors (CSFs) for construction projects in Lithuania. Considering the current lack of understanding of CSFs within the local context, this study is one of the first attempts to gain an understanding of the CSFs in the local industry. Our study revealed that, for construction projects in Lithuania, clear and realistic project goals, project planning, the project manager's competence, relevant past experience of the project management/team, the competence of the project management/team, clear and precise goals/objectives of the client, the project's value, the project's complexity and uniqueness, the project manager's experience, and the client's ability to make timely decisions are the top-ranking CSFs. In view of these findings, the study highlighted the key areas for successful implementation of construction projects in Lithuania.
This paper aims to identify a comprehensive list of critical success factors for construction projects in Lithuania. Based on the available literature review, this paper identified 71 success factors under 7 broad groups. Based on the survey results, ten factors including project manager competence, project management team members' competence, project manager coordinating skills, client clear and precise goals/objectives, project value, project management team members' relevant past experience, project manager organising skills, project manager effective and timely conflict resolution, client ability to make timely decision, and project manager experience were determined as the most important success factors for construction projects. These critical success factors are of great significance both to researchers and industry practitioners.
Traditionally, the real estate asset assessment is performed by experienced valuators, who take into account its economic, social, physical and locational aspects. Nowadays, the construction industry is becoming more and more influenced by the sustainability requirements. Therefore, the inclusion of the sustainability evaluation into real estate asset valuation is of utmost importance. The Neutrosophic Multi-Attribute Market Value Assessment (MAMVA) method developed by the authors of this article handles market value calculations by solving multiple criteria assessment problems, and the initial information vagueness is modelled explicitly. The supplementary novelty of the present paper is the inclusion of the sustainability aspects into the real estate market valuation. The sustainable market valuation of Croydon University Hospital (Emergency Department) is performed as the case study to present numerical capabilities of the proposed approach. Our research findings suggest that neutrosophic MAMVA is a rational approach for calculations of property market valuation and might be suitable for application worldwide.
Territory planning instructions of residential areas (quarters) are analyzed in this article. In Lithuania there is no validated united normative database for territory planning, which could regulate renovation of residential quarters. Accordingly, it is an actual problem. Modernization of blocks of flats is widely analyzed and it causes a lot of discussions recently. Modernization could be fulfilled more efficiently in quarters or even residential areas. Consequently, territorial spatial planning of areas (quarters) is very important. This article covers analysis of terms of a residential area and a quarter, building intensity and building density, functional zones, regulations of territory management and use, greenery, social infrastructure. Also a quality of life, depreciation of buildings and a priority of renovation of residential areas is examined.

AbstractThe most of multi-apartment residential houses in Lithuania were built before 1993. Most of these houses are uneconomical, unecologieal and consume a significant amount of heat energy. Such multi-apartment houses need to be modemized, and, therefore, it is important to examine and analyse their state. This paper discusses the state of structural elements of multi-apartment houses, their detedoration level, heat energy losses, as well as the problems of microclimate in the premises, layout and living environment. Modernization of buildings is effective only when the state of buildings is carefully analysed and the most suitable renovation method or seenado is selected.
