A construction project failure encompasses a multifaceted spectrum of disappointments, which may manifest individually or in combination, spanning the domains of cost, time, quality, and effective project management. This study represents a dedicated endeavor to discern the critical success factors (CSFs) that underpin the triumph or failure of construction projects, while simultaneously scrutinizing the intricate interplay between various attributes that contribute to the realization of project success. A comprehensive and thorough examination of prior research endeavors serves as the cornerstone. This extensive review of the literature functions as the lodestar, guiding the identification of CSFs that will subsequently serve as predictive indicators for assessing the likelihood of a project's success. The study endeavors to quantify the individual contributions of 19 of these critical success factors to the ultimate outcome of a building project. The overarching aim of this current literature research is to conduct a meticulous and exhaustive exploration of critical success factors within the context of building projects. This undertaking is approached with unwavering focus and precision, delving into articles published in highly reputable journals over the past decade. The outcome of this scholarly endeavor promises to shed new light on the dynamics of construction project success, enriching our understanding of the intricate factors that shape the destiny of these endeavors.
