Abstract: Global industries are associated with risk; the construction industry is not an exception. The construction industry has a complex nature, involving different participants; therefore, additional risk is imposed on construction projects. Therefore, with the aid of information technology (IT) as a moderating factor, the purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the impact of management skills and risk management on the success of construction projects. The method was descriptive correlational research with structural equation modelling (SEM). In this study, 146 expert managers of construction projects in Iran participated. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. By using SmartPLS, PLS-based SEM was used to analyse the data. As the results show, management skills (technical, human, and perceptual skills) and risk management lead to an increase in the success of construction projects, and IT moderates the risk management effect on construction project success.
