“…In the construction industry, quality is defi ned as the totality of features required by a product or services to satisfy a given need, or fi tness for purpose ( Parfi tt and Sanvido, 1993 ). In other words, the emphasis of quality in construction industry is on the ability to conform to established requirements.…”

“…there are also several legal regulations about safety and health practices, environment, governmental agencies and others without legal regulations like "lobbies" or individual citizens. These factors could influence the project management success and the promoter's decisions (Parfitt, Sanvido 1993;Jha, Iyer 2006;Dutta, Husain 2009). Walker (2007) defines a model of the construction process divided in 3 subsystems, conception, inception and realisation.…”

“…Following the same line, it is not frequent to find management information regarding the need for intervention in adjoining buildings, which is paramount to the reduction of damage in such buildings. Information regarding planning is also overlooked, namely a quantification of labour, pace of work, specialised resources, technical capacity of the companies involved and technical monitoring needs, although all these are important for the success of the project (Chan et al 2002;ahadzie et al 2008;niu et al 2010;Parfitt, Sanvido 1993). Also absent from the analysed project designs are information regarding costs of intervention in urban areas, of maintenance period and the attribution of eventual tax benefits or incentives under the law into force.…”

ABSTRACT. The retrofitting works in old buildings require appropriate knowledge of the vernacular techniques. Previous researches have identified retrofitting works as more intrusive and using more unnecessary demolition materials than real needs. This study constitutes a new framework that focuses on the project management success of old building retrofitting in historical centres by developing a methodological system for this purpose. It uses a construction sector system approach, reviews legal requirements, framework specifications, recommendation practices and sustainable measures adapted to old building projects. It presents 50 parameters adapted to these works' specificities that could be used by construction market stakeholders. The research uses a case study methodology divided in two parts. The first one involves the review of building retrofitting projects in historical centres, complemented by a questionnaire in the second part. The results of the projects review have shown little concern with the underlying sustainability aspects of retrofitting works in all project designs analysed. However, the questionnaire results have revealed a high interest and applicability of all parameters omitted in the project designs data. The study describes a useful management system in a toolkit format which might contribute to reduce uncertainty in the management of retrofitting projects in historical centres.

“…Profitability is a proper measure of the economic success of the project and, in a context of increasing competition, concessionaires are aware that the project must be properly managed to be profitable (Parfitt & Sanvido, 1993). Furthermore, profitability is considered a critical criterion for a project to be successful by Project Managers (Menches & Hanna, 2006) and the most important one for public sector clients (Kušljić & Marenjak, 2013).…”

The EU has been promoting the use of PPPs in order to accelerate the development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) for ensuring economic, social and territorial cohesion and increasing accessibility throughout the Union. To encourage the use of PPPs, the European Commission has put several financing mechanisms at the disposal of the Member States, including a series of innovative financial instruments developed along with the European Investment Bank. The Bank has in turn played a major role in the promotion and financing of PPPs across the EU.The paper undertakes a review of the main financial instruments developed by the EU that are available to PPPs so as to determinate to what extent the European financial support has been channelled to road projects under that scheme in Spain. On the basis of the results obtained, a multiple regression model has been developed to analyse whether the PPP projects which enjoyed the financial support of the European Union tend to be significantly more successful from an economic point of view. The paper concludes that there is a positive correlation between receiving European financial support and the success of the PPP road projects.
