Abstract: This study examines the Critical Success Factors of housing projects in Karachi due to its unique geographic and industrial environment. This will be done by focusing on this demographic and thus enabling a more thorough and pertinent analysis. In this instance, the sample population consists of project management team personnel in the construction firms of Karachi. This study employed a purposive sampling and a survey approach on CSFs in Karachi housing developments. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is the data analysis technique. The sample size consists of 204 participants. The results have shown that business/work environment-related factors, client-related factors, contractor-related factors, design-related factors, project management-related factors, and procurement-related factors positively affect project success. In contrast, project manager-related factors positively and significantly affect project success. Construction companies must prioritize efficient project management techniques; also, businesses should invest in project managers with the necessary training and expertise to successfully plan, schedule, allocate resources, and communicate.
