Project performance indicator as of time, quality and cost are all indicators used to determine the successful of the project. Poor project performance, on the other hand, has always become a drawback for construction players especially the developer. Therefore, the research aims to investigate the impact factors that affect in project performance among the developers. The objective of the research is to identify the challenges faced by developers that contribute to project performance under private projects. Questionnaire survey were distributed to 226 respondents within the Johor State with 69% of questionnaire returned rate. Descriptive analysis has been used for the data analysis by using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28. Based on the analysis, respondents agreed that financial problems during the construction process and late making decisions were the major challenges faced by the developers in project performance. The recommendation that was suggested in this research can be taken to action to improve the project performance under private project in Johor.
