ABSTRACT

Engineering procurement construction projects play an important role in national

economic development. India, which contributed approximately 8.5% to the total of Indias

GDP. Project schedule slips, budget overruns, compromised quality, resulting claims and

counter-claims problems have plagued the industry. The reasons for poor project

performances abound. Previous researches have dealt much with the problems of project risk

and uncertainty, variations in project outcomes, work fragmentation, complex relationships

among stakeholders and activities, and excessive phase overlaps in general. In this paper

dealt with EPC industries project success factors

Construction projects are implementing different phases., viz., conception phase,

definition phase, planning phase, scheduling phase, controlling phase and termination phase

Various factors affect construction projects performance and success of projects i.e.,

completion periods of projects , project budget and better service to owners of project. The

objective of this paper studying success factors variables, project functions, project activities,of project team members, project team members skills, attitude, experience, project tools,

methods of project implementation enhancing the business performance of engineering

procurement construction industries. Construction projects completion times are in line with

owners requirements, and identifying gap reduction factors between project budget and

project cost and improving business performance enhancing factors for construction project

industries. To collect data, to record the collected data in tabular format, to analyze the

recorded data by using statistical procedure and interpret ate success factors plays role in the

EPC industry business operations.
