Abstract

The construction industry plays a vital role in the development and progress of metropolises. However, construction projects face several challenges, including failure to complete on time, over budget, and failure to meet quality standards. Identifying and understanding the factors affecting the success of construction projects is a necessary step to overcome these challenges and improve the quality of construction in metropolises. Therefore, an effort was made in the present research. In this direction, the present research was carried out with the aim of structural analysis of drivers influencing the success of construction projects in Tehran metropolis. According to the objectives of the research and the drivers under investigation, the type of research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Theoretical data was prepared by document method and experimental data by survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population of 20 experts and specialists is based on judgmental sampling that 29 driving forces have been processed by structural interaction analysis method in MICMAC software. In terms of the analysis of mutual effects, the findings indicate the dispersion of stimuli in a complex and intermediate state of effectiveness and effectiveness; The results showed that among the 29 driving forces, 11 driving forces have a more key effect on the success of construction projects in Tehran metropolis, which include proper financing, accurate and comprehensive planning, compliance with regulations and laws, realistic budgeting, compliance Safety standards, use of quality materials and equipment, accurate design and engineering, clear communication between all project stakeholders, efficient management, cost management and selection of qualified contractors. In terms of systemic performance, these forces play the role of high influence and low influence in the system environment with the aim of improving the quality of life in the studied contexts, and as a result, they are considered the most effective and key drivers.
