description The construction industry plays a vital role in shaping the urban landscape and boosting the economic development. Project success of the building construction requires effective management strategies and an in-depth understanding of the critical success factors (CSF) involved. The main personnel concerned with the CSFs is the project managers (PMs). The success and the effectiveness of the project can be determined by how effective the PMs understands these critical factors and implement them onto their projects. This research deploys a mixed-method approach, combining through literature reviews with a list of CSFs obtained through surveying building construction professionals in the Singapore construction industry. The survey totaled 281 respondents from various institutions such as The Institution of Engineers (IES), GuocoLand Ltd, NTU Alumni and The Singapore Contractors Association Ltd. The survey data are analyzed and compared with an extensive literature review. The top 5 CSFs were as followed: 1. Coordination and Communication, 2. Leadership, 3. Problem solving, 4. Scope, cost, time, 5. Planning. Moreover, a separate CSFs are obtained via web scraping from LinkedIn website using beautifulsoup in the Python. The data mined obtained the requirements of job advertisements posted on LinkedIn. In the advertisement search filter, only post with project managers and above roles are considered. The data are further analyzed using NVivo software to obtain the most frequent used key words appeared in all advertisement post. Then CSFs data from the NVivo software and survey results are compared if there are closely related. The research propels the authority and the CSFs for the PMs to secure a proper planning of resources and sharing of information. This allows the projects to be operated smoothly where the PMs have the most understanding and information on the project to make the best decision for the project success. The less precedence CSF but share some degree of importance are as followed: 1. Organizational management, 2. Motivation, 3. Expertise, 4. Strategic perspective, 5. Emotional intelligence.
