摘      要:Project complexity is a term that is not well understood in the construction industry in relation to academia and practice. Project complexity often refers to a measurement of the number of project elements and interactions between project elements or a relative comparison of difficulty to what was previously accomplished. Project complexity is a very critical factor that presents additional challenges to achieving project objectives. Impacts of project complexity can be negative if it is not assessed and managed appropriately. Developing a methodology to assess and measure project complexity can help project teams increase the likelihood of success and predictable project outcomes. This research proposed a constructive approach to assess and measure project complexity as a separate factor influencing projects including a model that helps identify the levels of project complexity. In this research, first, the concepts of complexity and its attributes were explored, and the literature relevant to defining and assessing project complexity was studied. A working definition of project complexity was then developed as a basis for describing project complexity. Project complexity was intentionally described in terms of managing projects rather than project physical features such as facility technology, types of materials, or project physical components to ensure that the research results could be generalized across a wide range of industry sectors. The possible project complexity attributes were then identified using complexity theory variables, the literature review results, and industry experience. The identified complexity attributes were used to develop the complexity indicators deemed to measure the associated attributes. The developed complexity indicators were then converted to survey questions for data collection purpose. The collected data was analyzed using statistical methods to test the significance of complexity indicators in differentiating low complexity pr
