As discovered, today's Rwandan construction industry is developing day by day, which plays a very important role in the country's economic growth. In the construction industry, project consultants play a very significant role in providing services for such projects. The project consultants provide services from the beginning of the project to the completion of the project. Using project consultants is very useful for construction projects because it can ameliorate project efficiency and effectiveness. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between project consultants' performance and project success in the Rwandan construction industry. The data used in this study were obtained from primary and secondary sources. The secondary data was attained through an elaborated literature review of various books, articles, and papers related to this research to outlining and describing the chief ideas of this research title. The primary data was compiled through a questionnaire survey that was directed to 110 selected professionals in the construction projects in Rwanda to collect data from the site for statistical analysis of the research to test the hypothesis. However, a total of 90 usable responses were received within the scheduled period representing the response rate of 81.82%, which is likely to be representative and acceptable. Data collected from the questionnaire surveys were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS), excel spreadsheets, and Relative Importance Index (RII), which provide more merit presentations. The survey results show that even if there are many obstacles in the use of project consultants in the Rwandan construction industry such as lack of knowledge and practice in project consulting, lack of well-trained project consulting professionals, lack of training opportunities in project consulting, lack of knowledge

“…Meanwhile, CSF should be determined at the inception of the project, therefore, by focusing on these factors which are the main inputs of the project management system, the likelihood of project success is most likely increased. CSF explicitly influence the main goals of the project including time, cost, and scope [16][17][18][19][20], however, CSF depends on the nature and type of construction projects and includes cost, time, quality, satisfaction, management, safety, technology, organizations, environment, and resources [21,22]. Time, cost, and quality are, however, the three predominant performance evaluation dimensions in the construction industry, also known as the Iron Triangle or Project Management Triangle [22].…”

The Construction Industry is a complex and fragmented industry worldwide with regards to its supply chain, products, and processes, and is faced with a similar dilemma as faced by manufacturers during its time in past decades. Scope, time, and cost are the triple constraints of project management and leading factors in defining the project performance. Productivity and efficiency of each construction project is measured through its triple constraints, therefore the factors that affect project success are significantly important. Despite the importance of understanding project performance indicators, few empirical studies have been conducted over the last decade in terms of analyzing the factors that determine the performance of high-rise buildings in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. Hence, the aim of this paper is to analyze and rank EPC critical activities across large-scale residential construction projects in Iran, by using the TOPSIS method as a multi-attribute group decision-making technique. Results indicate that engineering design, project planning and controls are significant factors contributing to the project performance. In addition, engineering has a pivotal role in project performance and this significance is followed by the construction phase. On the contrary, all believe procurement is more important than Construction phase.

“…To improve the chances of building project success and reduce the possible failures, the performance criteria for BPM practices should be properly and carefully identified, measured, and checked. It has been observed that time, cost, quality, health and safety, environment, productivity, risk management, human resource and client satisfaction, among others, are dominant critical success factors reported by construction projects (Omer, 2017;Bryde & Robinson, 2005;Ramlee et al, 2016;Takim & Akintoye, 2002;Bahia & de Farias Filho, 2010; Al-Tmeemy, Abdul-Rahman & Harun, 2010; Koelmans, 2004;Gunathilaka, Tuuli & Dainty, 2013;Frefer et al, 2018;Homthong & Moungnoi, 2016;Gomesa & Romao, 2016;Toor & Ogunlana, 2010;Enshassi, Mohamed & Abushaban, 2009;Mukhtar & Amirudin, 2016). Studies by Homthong and Moungnoi (2016) revealed the most critical success factors influencing project success to include the competence of project participants, the durability of the completed work, the relationship between project participants, positive attitude of employees, effective quality assurance system in the organisation, quality of works to match standards, the relationship between an employee and a supervisor, competent supervisors and regular maintenance of equipment for the project.…”

Growing demands for building projects result from economic development. The building industry is dynamic and multifaceted. Efficient and effective practice of building production management (BPM) is required to successfully execute projects and achieve project goals upon completion as well as functionality aims for the lifespan of a building. This research aims to determine factors that influence the BPM practice in the Nigerian construction industry, particularly; during the project execution phase. A cross-sectional survey used; a questionnaire to identify 73 factors, which were grouped into 12 categories and assessed. A purposive sampling technique was used to identify 20 construction organisations specialising in building production management in Lagos, Nigeria. 114 questionnaires were distributed to the pool of stakeholders, which included 31 clients, 34 consultants and 49 contractors of current and past building production projects carried out by the selected firms in Lagos. The research used a selection of statistical tools for SPSS v.23, including the chi-square test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and Kendall's coefficient of concordance. The obtained result revealed the factors that mostly influence the BPM practice namely, architectural drawings, the construction programme document, the work breakdown structure, the adequacy of communication and coordination between the parties, the adequacy of raw materials and equipment, the availability of the competent team, the implementation of the safety management system, regular maintenance of project equipment, clear and timely inspections, the availability of funds as planned throughout the project duration, the availability of skilled personnel, and the aesthetics of the completed work. The research resulted in the development of the BPM implementation framework and recommendations for the improvement of the BPM practice in Nigeria.
