Abstract

In this study success factors for BOT construction projects in Sindh, Pakistan have been evaluated which is a need of the hour for achieving successful results in all BOT-based projects. By identifying success factors of Build-Operate-Transfer performance-oriented results can be achieved. For achieving this task a structured questionnaire form was distributed among highly experienced professionals working in BOT projects of Sindh, Pakistan. There were thirty (30) most important success factors identified for a structured questionnaire form to identify the relevancy of success factors in BOT construction projects of Sindh, Pakistan. And finally, from the results, it is known that out of (30) success factors (24) success factors considered most relevant for BOT construction projects of Sindh, Pakistan. From relevant success factors top five most relevant success factors are (1) Good Government Policy (2) Government Support and Guarantee (3) A strong Project Consortium (4) A Good Contractor and (5) Transparent and Competitive Procurement Process.
