        abstract = {This study applies a systematic approach to transform qualitative data into quantitative measures of time, cost and quality (TCQ) performance of construction projects. It was a mixed-method sequential exploratory design. The qualitative input of the construction professionals was thematically analyzed and transformed into quantifiable variables. This was followed by a structured questionnaire, which was tested and developed with simulated responses of 15 participants. The statistical analyses indicate that planning, cost control, quality assurance, leadership and stakeholder coordination have a positive impact on TCQ outcomes. Leadership enhances quality through technology, whereas poor governance has an adverse impact on time and cost performance. The research has a methodological contribution in offering a clear process of measuring the qualitative knowledge and a practical contribution in the identification of important drivers of TCQ performance in construction projects.},
