Abstract
Construction is considered one of the sectors that ignite economic growth for a nation. However, the majority of construction projects performance is not satisfactory. Some deal with cost overruns, others with time delays and quality problems that do not meet the end user's expectations and result in low customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to assess factors that affect construction project performance in the case of PepsiCo expansion project. The study grouped the assessed factors into four clusters, including managerial factors, project team performance factors, risk management performance factors, and external factors. These four clusters have five to eight factors that are identified as potential factors. The methodology chosen for this study is descriptive statistics, which involves analysing data that is collected through Likert-structured questionnaires from targeted populations. A total of 30 questionnaires were filled out by employees of the contractor, consultant, and owner with engineering and project management experience. The collected data was analyzed through SPSS, and Cronbach’s alpha test was performed to check the reliability of the study. The findings indicate that managerial factors, project team performance factors, risk management performance, and external factors affected the construction project's performance in the case of the PepsiCo expansion project. The study concluded that the project's time and cost performance were influenced by managerial factors, project team performance, risk management, and external factors. The initial project plan was found to be increased by time and cost performance by 15% and 9%, respectively. The project team must address the identified assessed factors and develop strategies to improve the project's performance
