roject success is what must be done for the project to be acceptable to the client, stakeholders and end-users who will be
affected by the project. The study of project success and the critical success factors (CSFs) are the means adopted to improve
the effectiveness of the project. This research is conducted to make an attempt to identify which variables influence the success of
project implementation. This study has selected, through an extensive literature review and interviews, 83 factors were categorized
in to 7 groups that the questionnaire respondents were asked to score. The responses from 66 professionals with an average of 15
years of experience in different types of construction projects in Jordan were collected and analyzed using SPSS and most important
factors for various success criteria are presented depending on the relative importance index to rank the categories. The research
revealed the significant group of factors which are: client related factors, contractor’s related factors, project manager (PM) related
factors, and project management related factors. In addition, the top ten sub factors are: assertion of the client towards short time of
the project, availability of skilled labor, assertion of the client towards high level of the quality, capability of the client in taking risk,
previous experience of the PM in similar projects, previous experience of the contractor in similar projects, decision making by the
client/ the client’s representative at the right time, assertion of client towards low cost of project, experience in project management
in previous projects, and flow of the information among parties. The results would be helpful to construction project professionals in
taking proactive measures for successful completion of construction projects in Jordan
