This research has been focusing factors affecting success of construction projects in Ethiopia, The driving force to study the selected area came from personal observation of the considerable delays in completion of construction projects undertaken in Ethiopia and the reworks and performance problems on the constructed projects. Being the second most population country and third most wide area of Africa continent , Ethiopia demands a highly growing infrastructural development. Among the developments desired at all corners of the region is construction of standard projects. Yet, as communities in region, we have been witnessing the significant delays in completion of different projects (i,e water projects and road construction projects) administered by Ethiopia construction sector administration bureaus. We have also heard the complaints of the society and several institutions for the inconveniences resulted by the delays of the projects for completion and the quality problems of the deliverables through various media. Moreover, number of different construction projects (i.e buildings, water sector and roads) are constructed without the ensuring quality and guarantee of project, due to that after a while (beyond life span) it may need maintenance and rehabilitation works resulting in spending of additional resources and time besides creating inconvenience on the users. Consequently, these projects will also be subjected to cost overrun , schedule over run and reworks are among other the factors resulting in cost overrun. Considering the failure of the construction projects, to be succeed in the three success dimensions of projects and the definition of project success given by other scholars, it can be implied that most of the projects executed by the authority have not been successful so far. ‘‘Time, cost and quality have their proven importance as a prime measure for project success and Project requirements are commonly assumed to be time, quality and cost of a project. Success and failure of any project will be measured by these three requirements.’’

The construction industry is dynamic in nature due to the increasing uncertainties in technology, budgets, and development processes. Nowadays, building projects are becoming much more complex and difficult. The project team is facing unprecedented changes. The study of project success and the critical success factors ~CSFs! are considered to be a means to improve the effectiveness of project. However the concept of project success has remained ambiguously defined in the mind of the construction professionals. Various attempts were made by different researchers to determine CSFs in construction. A number of variables influencing project success have been proposed. Some variables are common to more than one list, but there is no general agreement on the variables. This Project examines the success factors and determines which success factor is more critical in a successful completion of a project. From literature review and past studies, it was obtained that there were different directions and methodologies used in order to achieve the required target, goals and objectives. A structured questionnaire survey approach is considered to study the impact of various attributes and factors affecting success. The relative importance index method (RII) is used here to determine owners, consultants and contractors perceptions. In this study 63 factors affecting the success of construction projects are selected. These factors are grouped into 10 groups with the help of different literature reviews.

In present times any kind of activity is considered as a project, which has a complex characteristic and which involves a new vision starting with the analysis of the project needs and finishing with the efficient re-usage of the project results. The pressures of the global economical and political competitive system of the contemporary world, the competition between producers, a higher respect for the value, and the wellbeing of those who compose the human resources of the project and implicitly for the cost generated by the work factor led to the development of new techniques of project management. The first one who offers what the client wants is the winner and has all the chances to survive in a competitive system. The solution is to realize success projects using an efficient project management. A performing business means an investment in a successful project, with predictable and planned activities. This study wants to identify which are the main causes which lead to the succ...

The measurement of project success in the construction industry, in general, has been grounded in the conventionally accepted objective oriented success metrics. However, recent evidences in the field has suggested a holistic perspective than the traditional measures that considers subjective as well as objective metrics in assessing project success. The main purpose of the study is to examine the success rate of the public building construction projects in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by devising a project success measurement model. The failure of governmental building construction projects has a negative effect on the development of any country; particularly, for those developing countries like Ethiopia that use foreign loans for such purposes. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a descriptive and explanatory research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 78 purposely selected key project stakeholders and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential data analysis techniques, including fuzzy scientific evaluation model and earned value analysis method. Findings The result of fuzzy scientific evaluation model revealed that from the studied projects, 6 out of 11 and 4 out of 11 showed moderately and slightly successful performance. The result of earned value method implies that 9 out of 10 projects (due to data limitation one project is not included in the analysis) recorded poorly successful performance in terms of both cost and time criterion. The results of both models are almost the same. Research limitations/implications Although this study is confined to only the quantitative aspect in examining the success rate of public building construction projects in Addis Ababa, it provides an important insight to Policies and strategies intended to improve the performance of construction projects in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia Originality/value: This study is important especially to decision-makers to make informed decisions regarding public building construction projects performance management in Ethiopia. In this regard, this study provides valuable information and evidence on the success rate of public building construction projects in Addis Ababa by devising a context referenced project success measurement model.
