The success of construction projects is a key indicator of contractor performance, particularly for medium-scale contractors who play a vital role in regional infrastructure development in East Java, Indonesia. This study aims to identify and analyze the key determinants influencing the success of construction projects, focusing on both internal and external factors that affect project performance among medium-class contractors. A descriptive–qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative analysis was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 project managers and surveys administered to 50 respondents, including contractor executives, supervising consultants, and field supervisors across Surabaya, Sidoarjo, and Malang. The analysis classified success determinants into five major categories: (1) project management, (2) human resources, (3) financial management, (4) technology utilization, and (5) external project factors. The findings reveal that effective project management is the most dominant factor determining project success, followed by human resource quality and financial stability. External factors such as government regulations, market conditions, and weather exert indirect yet significant influences on project implementation. Moreover, the adoption of digital project management tools and information technologies has begun to positively impact coordination efficiency and schedule control. In conclusion, the success of construction projects among medium-scale contractors in East Java is highly dependent on the companies' ability to integrate managerial, technical, and financial aspects in a balanced manner. The implementation of modern project management practices, continuous workforce capacity building, and adaptation to digital technologies are identified as critical strategies to enhance competitiveness at both regional and national levels.
