Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) are tools used by project teams to gather, store, analyse and disseminate information about the project and can be a single system, or a system of systems (Saladis, F & Kerzner, H 2011, p.17).

As shown in Figure 5 below (Appendix 2), these areas were the main drivers of preparing tender documents, creating and managing construction contracts, procuring inventory and making sure drawings were prepared for construction and for handover.

The project manager should meet with clients and stakeholders to identify critical success factors, which may be based on past critical failures, and establish metrics to measure these factors and provide the basis for review throughout the project (Kerzner, H, 2014, pp.17, 25).
Vitally important to successful projects is consideration of managerial, behavioural, and organization issues in addition to critical success factors from the ten-factor model that includes the project mission, management support, project schedule and plans, client consultation, personnel, technical tasks, client acceptance, monitoring and feedback, communication, and troubleshooting (Pinto, J 1998, ch.23).
The top five Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the project were endorsed by stakeholders during the preparation of the business case and are as follows:
