Abstract:
This study investigates the influence of project management strategies, specifically quality management and risk management, on project success in the context of construction firms operating in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study conceptualizes project success in terms of two key dimensions: project quality compliance and project timeliness. Utilizing a structured survey and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were analyzed from a sample of 152 project professionals across registered construction firms. The findings reveal that both quality and risk management strategies have statistically significant and positive effects on project success indicators. Specifically, quality management practices such as benchmarking, auditing, and continuous improvement positively influence both timeliness and quality compliance, while proactive risk identification, monitoring, and mitigation significantly reduce project delays and quality deviations. These results align with prior research across both local and international contexts. The study recommends that construction firms institutionalize structured quality and risk management frameworks to enhance their delivery outcomes and resilience.
