Abstract
The research article aims to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) of the pre-construction stages of
the public road construction project life cycle in Ghana. Data on 26 CSFs and 16 success criteria were col lected from key stakeholders across Ghana through a questionnaire survey. The data was then analyzed
using structural equation modelling (SEM). The study showed that external environmental factors and
project management factors directly influence success across the pre-construction phases of the
Ghanaian public road construction project life cycle whereas procurement-related factors only influence
the success of the works procurement phase. The research outcome would inspire construction industry
stakeholders to be dynamic and pay utmost attention to the application of the CSFs identified across the
pre-construction phases of the Ghanaian public road construction project life cycle. This is the first study
wherein the influence of CSFs across the pre-construction stages of the public road construction project
life cycle in Ghana is identified. Thus, it extends public road construction project management literature
in Ghana. The study is limited to equipment-intensive public construction projects in Ghana.
