This study examined the critical success factors in building projects, assessing their strengthening mechanism and potency. The study noted that the success of building projects depends on multiple interrelated factors that influence efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall project outcomes. In the context of carrying out this research, the following subheads among others were explored: concept of critical success, types of critical factors in building project and potency of critical success factor in building progress. The study mentioned the following as types of critical factors in building projects: project management/planning, financial/budgetary factors, human resource/leadership factors and technology/innovation. Furthermore, the study mentioned that the potency of critical success factor in building progress is in how it significantly impact the success of building projects. Some of the barriers to critical success factors in building projects as mentioned in the study included: lack of proper project planning, poor communication and inadequate risk management. It also mentioned how to mitigate the barriers to critical success factors in building projects to include: improve project planning/scheduling and effective communication systems. The study concluded that the success of building projects relies on critical success factors (CSFs) such as project planning, risk management, stakeholder engagement, and technological integration. One of the recommendations made was that building projects should integrate modern construction technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital project management tools, and automated quality control systems.
