Data was collected and evaluated by statistical method to distinguish the utmost significant success factor and causes of delay. This research extracted the most significant success factors according to the literature and most significant delay factors recognized by project parties. The correlation among them is studied to determine with which the most prominent ways in avoiding delays for the success of the project construction. Most of the success factors that contribute to the completion of a construction project are mostly consultant and owner related.
