A risk framework for critical success factors in successful and sustainable completion is very important for all the parties involved in construction of infrastructure projects. This is due to construction organizations appraise the projects and make decision for project investment. Therefore, there is a need to review the efforts of construction teams to introduce and implement the sustainability principles in construction projects towards successful completion. The issues of sustainable construction of infrastructure projects in Malaysia are still new, therefore there are little to none in depth studies on infrastructure projects built that do not meet the essential criteria of sustainability. The aim of this research project is to establish project management critical success factors for successful and sustainable completion of construction projects. The specific objectives of the study are to establish the causative factors of successful completion and sustainable construction of infrastructure projects, to develop industry ratings of the identified factors causing successful completion and sustainable construction of infrastructure projects by carrying out a questionnaire survey using Snowball technique and evaluating the Relative Important Index (RII), to determine the causative factors of successful completion and sustainable construction of infrastructure projects through case studies utilizing information at predesign and construction stages, to identify the factors causing successful completion and sustainable construction of infrastructure projects on the basis of interviewing experts and to develop risk framework for project management success factors suitable for industrial practitioners to manage the projects towards successful and sustainable completion.
