Abstract

The comprehensive body of project management knowledge is recognized not only for its reliance on traditional, effective methods that have proven impactful and gained widespread adoption over time but also for its inclusion of novel approaches and techniques that have emerged in recent years and captured the attention of professionals. This article aims to examine the influence of efficient management on construction projects to achieve successful execution, analyzing the perspectives of experts and specialists in this field. The research methodology employed in this study is survey-based, with the statistical population consisting of professionals active in the fields of civil engineering and architecture. The selected sample included 107 experts from this domain. The results indicated that the key success factors for implementing construction projects, in order of priority, are: effective team performance management, fostering and strengthening team skills, efficient guidance of procurement processes, improvement of constructive communication, proper stakeholder engagement, recruitment and organization of team members, accurate implementation of quality assurance processes, and precise management of project tasks. schemes to sustain ongoing innovation and effectively prevent further decline.
