AbstractNowadays, with the rapidly growing of economic as well as construction market, the need of effective fast track project is obviously. Many high rise building construction projects are implemented using fast track approaches. With fast track project delivery system, construction tasks begin before design and construction documents are completed, which allow other works to start earlier than with traditional method. Without doubt, fast-tracking offers many advantages and benefits, such as an earlier project completion, a shorter time spent before the work starts compared to the traditional design bid build method, earlier operation and earlier financial return. Therefore, fast track project delivery strategy which become applicable for high rise building projects. In order to understand how the current strategies are being operated together with the strengths and the weaknesses ofthe strategy, a case study is explored by approaching its documentations, interviewing involved persons. The results show the fast track project is not suitable to all projects, however, there are also some problems that can occur when applying fast track due to many reasons such as unforeseen changes, lack of knowledge and inexperienced consultants. As a result, the negative effectiveness of unsuccessful fast track projects is huge and can lead to more delay and cost. Therefore, in order to apply fast track project successful, owners should have proper plan
