The third round is a pairwise comparisons questionnaire and analyzed by the process of hierarchical analysis using Expert choice program.  The most important indicators that are used to measure the success of the performance of construction projects (learning from the best practices and experiences of others) by obtaining (4.29) followed by (the organization's liquidity) by obtaining the importance (4.24) and the third indicator (the planned construction time) by obtaining (4.24). The indicators prioritize and set in a framework to help project managers and stakeholders remove weaknesses and take the necessary measures in a timely manner to reach a high-performing, successful facility therefore, it is preferable to pay attention to the importance of performance measurement for construction projects
