| dc.description.abstract | Building construction has been one of the fastest-growing segments of the construction industry in Ethiopian. But most of construction projects, especially which are undertaken by local contractors were poor in accordance with time, cost and quality. Even though there are numerous factors, which affect the building construction projects, this research is aimed to assess and study four critical success factors, which influence success of building construction projects. Namely: Time, cost, quality, and project management competency. The four critical factors were identified from the widespread application of project management concepts and general understanding amongst practitioners. And twenty-five construction projects were selected as unit of analysis for this study. Descriptive research design was used to assess the critical success factors in the selected construction projects. Primary and secondary data were also used for the achievement of the study. A structured questionnaire was developed to gather information to assess and analysis the critical success factors, which affect the success of building construction projects. And other significant project management practices were also captured in relevant literature. Seventy-five questioners were distributed and only fifty-five of the respondents were responded the questionnaires. Then the data obtained from the distributed questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS 24 software. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and interpret the data found from the respondents. The findings show that the assessment of the practice level of the identified factors within the building construction companies resulted in a high level of mean score values. And all the factors that are considered as critical success factors (project manager competency, time, cost, and quality related factors) have a great contribution to the successful completion of a project and are being practiced within the companies under study. And from all the identified success factors, project manager competency related a critical success factor has the highest mean value. So the research recommend for building construction companies to emphasis more on the competency of their construction project manager. So that they can resolve cost, quality, and time related problems. | en_US |
