However, these projects face unique uncertainties due to the rapid development ofsustainable techniques and technologies. This study aims to identify and analyze risk factors influencing the performance of sustainable building projects. The study used primary andsecondary data, including questionnaires and interviews, and the construction industry's annual reports. The study population was selected using cencus inquiry. The study design is quantitativeand explanatory. 80 responses were gathered from 94 disseminated surveys. Descriptive and inferential data analysis methods were applied. The findings showed that all identified predictors(material and technology risks, stakeholder risks, technical risks, management risks, and regulatory and economic risks) have a significant relationship with project performance, with thefive independent factors having a combined 38.7% influence. It is advised that East Africa Specialized Engineering PLC (EASE) endeavor to reduce the likelihood of these risk variablesmaterializing to improve project performance. words: project performance, Sustainable Construction Project, Risk, Risk analysis, Riskidentificationen-USThesis
