It is necessary to identify critical success factors (CSFs) that affect the construction process. This paper’s aim is to define the CSFs considering views of all construction project stakeholders. The contribution of this paper is to categorize project success factors into categories and quantify the effect of each category taking into account the effect of all stakeholders on project efficiency and progress. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive literature review was carried out. After literature review, 40 success factors were compiled into seven categories: project-related factors, company- and work-related factors, client-related factors, project management factors, design-team-related factors, contractor-related factors, project-manager-related factors. Consequently, a survey including these listed success factors was prepared and distributed to various experts in the construction field to be ranked; 148 responses were received. Employing the Relative Importance Index (RII) and traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with Saaty random index that prioritizes these CSFs, the collected data were analyzed after receiving responses. Even though there were disagreements in stakeholders’ views and their goals, significant areas have been identified as project financial issues, managerial aspects, and authorities’ approval mechanism. The outcome of this paper would be used by construction industry professionals to support, evaluate, and measure the success of projects for better allocation of resources.

“…Several studies shown the high potential of such imaging-to-simulation approaches. Kim et al (2018aKim et al ( , 2019b fed the results of vision-based object detection to a construction simulation model for the analysis of earthwork productivity, and Golabchi et al (2018) developed a computer vision-simulation integrated framework for workers' ergonomic risk assessment. Based on these findings, further research can explore the applicability to different construction projects and operations.…”

Operation-level vision-based monitoring and documentation has drawn significant attention from construction practitioners and researchers. To automate the operation-level monitoring of construction and built environments, there have been much effort to develop computer vision technologies. Despite their encouraging findings, it remains a major challenge to exploit technologies in real construction projects, implying that there are knowledge gaps in practice and theory. To fill such knowledge gaps, this study thoroughly reviews 119 papers on operation-level vision-based construction monitoring, published in mainstream construction informatics journals. Existing research papers can be categorized into three sequential technologies: (1) camera placement for operation-level construction monitoring, (2) single-camera-based construction monitoring and documentation, and (3) multi-camera-based onsite information integration and construction monitoring. For each technology, state-of-the-art algorithms, open challenges, and future directions are discussed.

This paper examines the issues of ecological (green) construction in the framework of the concept of sustainable development - an inevitable global trend. The scale of ecological (green) construction is still limited throughout the world, including in Russia. Green building appeared in Russia much later than in Europe and the United States, where considerable experience has been accumulated in the implementation of such projects. It is necessary to better understand the obstacles to the implementation of green projects in order to find ways and means to overcome them. In this study, 19 obstacles to the implementation of green building projects in Russia were identified. The most important obstacles turned out to be: lack of necessary knowledge and information about green building among construction subjects, higher cost of green building compared to conventional, lack of interest and market demand for green building. The results of this study provide information that is valuable in the design and implementation of green building projects in the future.
