As the construction and real estate industry is project-oriented, it is a complicated work environment. With its constant changes, it always remains uncertain in its investments such as project management. After the industry has been far behind with its use of KPI, performance measurements have become more central in the industry, but at the same time companies have difficulty finding KPI to apply in their projects. The purpose of the study was to examine how and why specific KPIs are used to measure results for each project in the construction and real estate industry. The study wants to contribute with a literary understanding within the industry. The study has used a qualitative research method by interviewing CFO and project managers at construction and real estate companies and then being able to fulfill the purpose of the study. The result mentions that having focus and all in order during the process is important to achieve a successful project. Having too large cost deviations or not being completed on time is seen as a less successful project. To minimize their cost and time deviations, most companies follow up with, among other things, successive profit recognition but also construction meetings on the construction sites to review the schedule. There is a clear connection through the data collection that the two most important KPI that is discussed several times are cost and time. The KPIs that are mentioned in the report are used more for measuring the project’s outcome than for developing future projects.
