“…In these studies the relationship among owners, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and sub-contractors have been studied [41]. Collaborative relationships among construction parties, information sharing and communication, continual improvement, mutual objectives, dynamic problem solving, equitable risk allocation, supplier and subcontractor selection criteria, trust, and measuring project outcomes in EPC phases of construction projects have been considered by other researchers [80]. The use of time, cost, and quality as critical success factors of construction projects for the purpose of construction project performance evaluation have widely been studied by several researchers [42], however, there is great need to understand these critical success factors with regard to EPC phases of the construction projects and to identify and prioritize the factors that can affect critical success factors of the project in the different phases of EPC and affect project performance.…”

The Construction Industry is a complex and fragmented industry worldwide with regards to its supply chain, products, and processes, and is faced with a similar dilemma as faced by manufacturers during its time in past decades. Scope, time, and cost are the triple constraints of project management and leading factors in defining the project performance. Productivity and efficiency of each construction project is measured through its triple constraints, therefore the factors that affect project success are significantly important. Despite the importance of understanding project performance indicators, few empirical studies have been conducted over the last decade in terms of analyzing the factors that determine the performance of high-rise buildings in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. Hence, the aim of this paper is to analyze and rank EPC critical activities across large-scale residential construction projects in Iran, by using the TOPSIS method as a multi-attribute group decision-making technique. Results indicate that engineering design, project planning and controls are significant factors contributing to the project performance. In addition, engineering has a pivotal role in project performance and this significance is followed by the construction phase. On the contrary, all believe procurement is more important than Construction phase.

“…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.

“…A study conducted by Hwang and Lim (2012) identified 32 key success factors in the context of construction in Singapore, in order to help foreign contractors that wanted to access this country, and noted that "the success of the construction project depends on a combination of factors related to the human being, factors related to the project, factors related to the management of the project, and even factors related to the external environment". In addition, Pal et al (2017) analyzed the success factors in relationship management in international engineering procurement and construction (IEPC) projects carried out by Chinese companies, and Alashwal et al (2017) identified the success factors of the internationalization of Malaysian contractors.…”

During the period between 2008-2013, the internal market in Spain was characterized by economic crisis, the contraction of the demand experienced in a turbulent business environment, and strong competition among companies. This situation forced many of these companies to work abroad. One of the success factors for Spanish engineering companies abroad has been effective risk management, which avoids compromising the company's objectives, market share, or survival. This article examines the importance of risk management in the success of Spanish engineering consulting firms in the international construction market. Ten executives of Spanish engineering companies with international experience were interviewed, analyzing the importance of risk management for them in the success of internationalization compared with other success factors. The results show that the size of the companies interviewed has no influence on the importance that they gave to risk management, but international experience does relate to the assessment of risk identification and management as a success factor. In addition, companies considered risk management a key factor for optimizing their performance in foreign markets.
