Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects are complex endeavors involving multiple stages, stakeholders, and activities, which require coordination and management of various technical and non-technical aspects. Literature has shown that EPC projects are also subject to various risks that could severely impact project performance. This paper reviews the literature in regard to the critical success factors (CSFs) of EPC projects, particularly in the fertilizer industry. CSFs are important for EPC projects as they determine the likelihood of the project being successful. CSFs provide a roadmap and guidelines for project managers and stakeholders to follow and ensure that the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the expected quality. The objective of this paper is to identify the CSFs of the EPC projects and to identify the potential for future research that could overcome the project’s failure.
