Abstract:
The identification of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for construction projects enables appropriate
decision making to achieve the project objectives. Limited studies focused on the CSFs in previous
researches particularly in Egypt. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the CSFs necessary to achieve
Governmental Projects objectives in Egypt. A number of CSFs have been determined through a
comprehensive literature review. These factors were grouped under five main groups: project aspects,
owner, contractor, consultant, and environment. A questionnaire was developed to facilitate systematic
data collection in this study. Experts with an overall average of 20 years of experience in the
construction industry were invited to participate in the survey. The results of this survey were ranked
based on their degrees of importance in relation to success using the relative importance index. The
results can be used as a guideline to successfully handle construction projects in Egypt as well as in
other developing countries.
