Abstract

Managers who are aware of the factors affecting construction project can lead the project to the success.  This research aimed to find out the factors affecting the condominium construction projects success using exploratory factor analysis method.  The data were collected through 150 questionnaires from the practitioners involved in condominium construction projects working in contractor and consultant firms.  The result of the factor analysis revealed that there were 4 factors (31 variables), namely, Construction project management performance, Resource and site management potential, Dispute and Problem prevention measures, and Political and economic conditions.  The important issues that should be concerned were Continuation of the construction processes, Labor readiness, and Coordination among various parties involved in the project.  The results of this research can be used as a guideline to help managing condominium construction project to make them more successful.
