Construction projects are extremely multifaceted and dynamic. The dynamic nature of clients, the complexity of construction projects and continuous demand for improved and efficient project delivery have put pressure to construction managers, thereby creating a lot of challenges. As the demand for highly innovative construction projects is constantly increasing, Therefore, study aimed to identify the challenges faced by construction projects. Data was collected from residential, institutional and retail building construction projects. 237 valid responses were collected via questionnaire survey from the construction professionals. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to extract the challenges factors of construction projects, where four factors of challenges were extracted. Study has contributed knowledge by providing new visions, such as various challenges do construction projects have faced? Moreover, study provides a clear and well understanding of “ which are the most critical challenges in construction projects’’. Further, it is anticipated that the results of study would be a guidebook for all the stakeholders to prevent any possible impact of challenges in their construction projects.
