Abstract: Unsuccessful construction projects will affect the reputation of contractors as they give negative impacts to the other players in construction industry. Thus, in order to avoid this problem in the future, it is necessary to find the solution for project success. The objectives of this research are to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that influence the success of construction projects in Northern Malaysia and determine the relationships among the success factors and success criteria. Quantitative method was adopted and questionnaires were sent to the construction’s players. Partial Least Square (SmartPLS 3.0); Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to determine the most significant factors that influenced the construction project success. At the end of this study, the success factors model for construction projects will be determined. This model can help to evaluate the prediction of construction projects success and also could help the construction’s players to investigate the probability of the construction projects success. This model also can assist the Malaysian construction industry in the future to avoid the problem of project not complete on time, over budget or project subjected to termination. This research also intended to help in reducing a project cost as the model output can be used as a benchmark when the contractors analyze the factors of a project success. Finally, it may reduce the number of incomplete projects in the future.
