“…Many previous researches had been studied performance of construction projects. [5] remarked that one of the principle reasons for the construction industry's poor performance has been attributed to the inappropriateness of the chosen procurement system. [16] remarked three important structures underlying the dynamic of a project performance which are: the work accomplishment structure, feedback effects on productivity and work quality and effects from upstream phases to downstream phases.…”

Critical Success Factor (CSF) is necessary in construction industry to achieve its goal. Construction industry in India has shown a significant development in recent years and its effect on environment has also increased. Building projects are becoming more difficult and complex nowadays. The project team is facing unprecedented changes. Building maintenance play an important role compared to other factors in building operation. Also, construction research and development process has various factors which affect its success. The earlier approach to success in the construction industry places great emphasis on the ability to plan and implement projects. In the past, companies completing projects in a timely manner within a stipulated budget and meeting optimum quality have been considered successful companies. Minimizing an importance on management practices and organizational stability, companies with successful project completion have been considered as top-performers. In contrast, other industries insist management practices at a corporate level as an essential element of success. However, the future environment of the construction company will be different due to technological and economic advancements. The critical success factors are considered to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the project. The aim of this study is to identify the critical success factor, analyse them and point out which critical factors are important in stages of construction. Some of the factors are identified as crucial to success of the project.

Cost estimation of road construction is required at the early stages of a project used to describe the process of predicting a project’s cost before construction through the tender process. Unit cost for road construction has a different characteristic for each area, this is caused by the component that forms unit cost is different in each area, starting from the material, equipment to human resources. The unit cost of road construction is affected by several factors, such as project location, whereas the distance to the project location can affect the transportation cost of equipment and material, other than that there is an external cost for each road project. This study describes the variants of unit cost between the estimated cost and actual (contractual) cost, based on collected data for 62 awarded road construction projects during the last 3 years especially for major items of work in West Java Province. The result describes that cost under-estimates are more implemented than cost over-estimates in national road construction projects. The variances of unit cost can be used by the government as a reference for estimating the cost item because the high accuracy of unit cost is crucial for completing the road projects.

Because of the common practice of subletting construction work into smaller packages, subcontracting has become an attractive technique in the construction business. Effective subcontractor selection and monitoring reduce the problem while also determining the performance of construction firms. The engagement of a subcontractor in a building construction project results in relationships with the main contractor, which will influence the project's success. The purpose of this study was to look at how main contractors choose subcontractors and to analyze the effect of the main contractorsubcontractor relationship on project performance. This research used a descriptive survey method to look at the underlying characteristics that influence the relationship between the main contractor and subcontractors and their effect on the performance of construction projects. The findings of the study confirmed that most contractor depends on subcontractors for the execution of their work and therefore procurement and management of subcontractors highly affects the performance of the construction project. It was also discovered that the subcontractor often performs 20 percent to 50 percent of the work. Main contractors used subcontractors primarily to offer skilled labor, lower overhead expenses, and relieve work and financial burden on themselves. The major causes of issues between the main contractor and the subcontractor include the main contractor's delay in releasing payments, the subcontractor's shortage of trained personnel, and scheduling conflicts among the subcontractors on a given project. To eliminate antagonistic relationships, the study advises a trust-based cooperative partnership that incorporates subcontractors into a partnering strategy. Furthermore, for optimal construction project performance, simpler and complete subcontract documents would improve the interaction between the main contractor and the subcontractor.
