- Description: Abstract: Infrastructure projects that do not meet organisations' goals and objectives can have a negative impact on organisations, stakeholders and end–users. Studies have been conducted by various researchers to identify critical success factors (CSFs) that influence the successful outcomes of infrastructure projects. The main objective of the study discussed in this paper was to identify critical factors influencing project success. Questionnaires were devised from literature review and administered to construction industry professionals which included project team members, line managers and project managers. Based on the findings, political influence, adequate planning, project manager competence and adequate funding were ranked the highest critical success factors. The research findings are focused to assist industry professionals gain better understanding on key areas based on prioritised success factors in order to improve performance in project delivery.

- Description: Abstract: Total Quality Management (TQM) is a philosophy that involves every organization in the industry in the effort to improve performance. The concept is an integrative management principle for continuously improving the quality of products and processes to achieve customer satisfaction. To achieve this concept required a clear establishment of Critical Success Factors (CSFs). However, lack of clear establishment of CSFs for the implementation of TQM in the construction industry has led to failure of the system. In the pursuit of performance excellence in the construction industry and with an increasing awareness of construction quality, construction firms have no option than to implement TQM with clear CSFs.
