It has become known that project management through integrated and balanced indicators will achieve a significant improvement in the performance of such projects. Performance measurement and management is still unused as a performance improvement tool in Syrian construction projects. The aim of this paper is to examine the application of balanced, integrated, and recent performance management system in order to adopt it as a tool to measure and manage Syrian construction projects performance. Balanced score card was selected as framework for proposed performance management system, and performance goals were set for 8 key performance indicators. BSC designer (performance management software) was used to support application the all related issues concerning performance management stages (measure, store, analyze, report, and use) and balanced scorecard elements (objectives, measures, goals, initiatives). Four under construction building projects were chosen as a sample of selected company projects to examine a comprehensive application of performance management model. The proposed construction project balanced scorecard performance framework successfully demonstrated the projects overall performance which was marginal and ranged between (24.42-35.05) %, and progress towards goals which was limited; besides projects strengths and weaknesses. In conclusion, the application of the proposed framework has proved that it forms an integrated and balanced system for measuring and managing performance in term of its ability to address all performance management stages and BSC elements. This research finding is very important for performance management practitioners because the proposed methodology forms an experimented framework which helps them with smooth, balanced, and successful implementation of performance management for construction projects performance improvement.
