The quality performance of a green building will have an overarching effect on its objectives because of the high compliance needed to achieve superior performance expectations. Achieving sustainability objectives is challenging and requires the collaboration of diverse professionals that resume unique responsibilities. In this study, the different managerial practitioners involved in green-building projects were investigated in terms of their awareness levels regarding the quality performance measures, their perceived abilities to influence quality failure consequences, the degree to which the cost-of-quality (CoQ) of components can be evaluated, and the effect the sustainability traits have on the quality performance. Accordingly, a survey approach was adopted, and the results were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-squared (χ2) test, the relative importance index (RII), Mann–Whitney U-Test, and Student’s T-test. According to the results, the priorities of the different managerial types and their overall impressions of cost computability were different, which needs to be considered when CoQ evaluations are done based on practitioners’ views. In addition, the sustainability traits of green buildings impact achieving quality metrics with the consequences of design rework occurring in the construction stage may lead to denouncing sustainability traits. The results of this research study reveal the need to consider the differences between managerial types when evaluating CoQ for projects and the increased sensitivity for such evaluation in a green building context. The paper contributes to underscoring the important connection between quality performance and sustainability traits of a green building project and calls for researchers to formulate methods with more rigor to reach a set structure for quality cost accounting as an industry standard. Intricate evaluation methods will enable strategic decision making on quality performance budgets to be more substantiated.

“…Second, because the contractor typically uses contractual terms, such as liquidation damages clauses or payment retentions and guarantees to weaken the subcontractor's threat (Chang and Ive, 2007b;Greenwood, Hog, and Kan, 2005), the threat of delay gains credibility whenever these contractual terms are undermined. A major factor causing the undermining of these clauses is the presence of 'change orders' in specialty trade activities, as these change orders cause a delay of the subcontractor activities that typically cannot be unambiguously claimed to be the subcontractor's responsibility Ive, 2007a, 2007b;Greenwood et al, 2005;Ibbs, Nguyen, and Simonian, 2011;Uher, 1991). This factor opens a window of opportunity for subcontractors to extract economic quasi-rents (Chang and Ive, 2007b), for example by overbidding on the price of the new works.…”

Using a detailed dataset from the Chilean construction industry, we explore how the predictions of the transaction cost and capabilities theories interact to explain building contractors' decisions to ‘make or buy’ the specialty trade activities needed to complete a construction project. We show that the contractor's productive capabilities strongly mediate the relationship between transaction hazards that originate from either temporal specificity or an exogenous change in the subcontracting law and the vertical integration decision. The inclusion of differential capabilities and its interaction with transactional hazards infuse contractors' boundary choices with systematic patterns of heterogeneity and contribute to the integration of these theoretical perspectives. Our analysis corrects for the endogeneity of the capabilities variable and provides a detailed assessment of the marginal effects in logit models. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Because each country has its own set of rules and regulations, legal constraints, and operational environment, Critical Success Factors differ when we travel from one country to another and from one project to the next. Several dimensions of critical success factor have been specified in detail by several authors (Ashley et al, 1987 ; Pinto and Slevin, 1987 ; Belassi and Tukel, 1996 ; Eriksson, 2008 ; Yang et al, 2009 ; Ibbs et al, 2010 ; Ahmadabadi and Heravi, 2019 ). According to Saqib et al ( 2008 ), seven critical success factor influence project success.…”

Several factors affect health project success. This research aims to examine the impact of critical success factors on health project success and show how the essential factors of success interact with knowledge creation to impact health project success. The self-administered questionnaire was distributed to collect data from 246 managers, supervisors and zonal supervisors of DHQ hospital Attock and PIMS hospital Islamabad. The analysis was done using Smart PLS to understand the effect of exogenous variables over endogenous variables and the impact of mediating variables between two constructs. The results show that all critical success factors (MGTRF, DRF, CRF, PMRF, CLRF) are significantly affecting project success, in addition, tacit knowledge creation mediate the association between critical success factors and project success. In contrast, explicit knowledge creation does not mediate the relationship between critical success factors and project success. This study intends to expand the theoretical understanding of process improvement by providing practical insights into the impact of strategies used by project managers to develop new knowledge by capturing explicit and implicit information. This study also reinforces past findings and increases awareness about using knowledge creation to gain a competitive advantage in the health sector.
