Fast-track construction projects that begin with inadequate design information have become more common in response to a rising construction industry demand. Fast-tracking shortens project duration while increasing rework. To meet project deadlines while minimising rework, specialists must select the best fast-tracking strategy. As a result, a questionnaire was developed to assess the success characteristics of fast-track construction and to provide constraints for these features and variables in national construction projects. National construction projects address specific government needs or investments to maximise the national return. The survey limited these factors by specifying maximum and minimum percentages. These percentages were chosen to expedite project building. The period in national projects varies from that of the typical construction approach to the shortest time that can be achieved with a plan. Cost and quality are within 20 and 10% of those of national project traditional construction methods, respectively. The best setting for various construction projects is determined by these proportions. It is preferable to use these percentages as a reference to complete construction projects within the shortest time, with the highest quality and at the lowest cost. This questionnaire was completed by 211 building experts.
