Abstrakt: The measurement of project success in the construction industry has traditionally been grounded in the industry-accepted classic objective success metrics: cost, schedule, performance, and safety. Initial research has indicated that there are more subjective considerations that, while being difficult to quantify, can have an important impact on perceptions of project success. During ongoing project management research, the authors recognized the need for a measurement tool that would account for subjective as well as objective metrics in assessing project success. The tool would have to provide the flexibility necessary to account for the fact that every project is different. The resulting Construction Project Success Survey (CPSS) instrument is designed to investigate how experienced construction project management personnel perceive project success, both objectively and subjectively. The engineering manager can use this tool to identify important success metrics before the start of a project, and to evaluate the level of success achieved at project completion.
