“…Although there are a number of publications on critical success factors of projects (Ahimbisibwe et al 2015;Bayiley, Teklu 2016;Chou, Pramudawardhani 2015;Cserhati, Szabo 2014;Ika, Donnelly 2017;Osei-Kyei, Chan 2015;Liu et al 2014;Marzagão, Carvalho 2016;Mukhtar et al 2017;Pal et al 2017;Ribeiro et al 2017;Shen et al 2017;Williams 2016;Xavier et al 2017;Yalegama et al 2016;Yamin, Sim 2016;Zou et al 2014), none of these studies focus comprehensively on this aspect of renewable energy projects, particularly in Pakistan's renewable power projects. The main emphasis of present research is placed on the identification of success factors and then prioritization of most critical factors contributing towards the success of renewable energy projects.…”

Abstract. Owed to their enormous impact on the sustainable development of energy security, climate change, and the economy, multiple renewable-energy projects are carried out around the world, both in developed and in developing countries. Since the construction of renewable energy project is an entrepreneurial activity, there is a big concern about the success of such projects. Although pertinent literature suggests several methodologies to enhance the success of various projects, renewable-energy projects are still overlooked. This study identifies multiple critical success factors (CSFs), required for renewable-energy projects. Using a sample of 272 firms working on renewable energy projects in Pakistan, a quantitative and causal study was undertaken to identify the critical success factors (CSFs). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test and verify hypothesis. The results show that there is a strong direct dependency of project success over the proposed factors, however environmental factors are found to be the only predominant CSFs which show the significant indirect effect on project success. The study expected to contribute towards and widen up the existing knowledge base for the project performance of renewable energy projects by adding on the findings regarding critical success factors.

“…Housing reflects the cultural, social, and economic values of a society, or in brief, is valuable evidence of civilization in every country. The term housing does not merely refer to the dwelling, but also includes the physical and social components that make up the housing system [5].…”

“…Since LCH is designed to help low-income earners, it is critical that the projects are completed on time. A lack of knowledge of the root causes of schedule delays is one of the main reasons that such projects fail [5].…”

“…This is particularly detrimental to LCH projects. This research addressed the problem by formulating the 2 of 13 following objectives: (1) identify the root causes of schedule delays in low-cost housing (LCH) projects, (2) classify the schedule-delay indicators (SDIs), (3) rank and prioritize the significant SDIs in LCH projects, (4) investigate constructive strategies to improve schedule performance in the these type of projects, and (5) investigate the relationships between the proposed recommendations and schedule categories. The outcomes of this study will help practitioners identify the root causes of schedule delays in the early stages of LCH projects and will help them develop a mitigation plan to improve their projects' performance.…”

Identification of Schedule-Performance Indicators and Delay-Recovery Strategies for Low-Cost Housing Projects

Many construction projects suffer from schedule delays that ultimately lead to considerable cost overruns and defeat the purpose of low-cost housing (LCH), which is to support low-income earners. It is, therefore, vital that the schedule delays and cost overruns be minimized. The objectives of this research were to investigate, identify, and classify the schedule-delay indicators (SDIs), prioritize them based on their level of impact, and formulate constructive strategies to improve the schedule performance. To achieve the objectives set forth, 68 interviews were conducted with professionals who are active in LCH projects, and a structured survey was developed and distributed to other experts involved in LCH projects to validate the result of the interviews and collect additional data. Survey responses were collected from 101 individuals and were analyzed. The significant SDIs were identified and classified by the research team and were ranked and prioritized, using the Relative Importance Index (RII) method. The results demonstrated that the identified SDIs could be classified into the following eight main categories: legal, design and technology, project characteristic, project management, material resource, human resource, location, and finance. The outcomes of this study will help project managers and stakeholders identify the causes of schedule delays early in the project and implement effective strategies for improving project performance in low-cost housing projects.
