The growing rate of delays is adversely affecting the timely delivery of construction projects. This study therefore assesses construction stakeholders' perception of the causes of delays and its effects on project delivery in a bid to proffer solution in minimizing the occurrences of delays. Questionnaire was used to elicit responses from construction stakeholders; a total of thirty three causes of delays, seventeen resultant effects of delays and fifteen methods of minimizing construction delays were identified for the study based on literature reviews. The results suggest that client's cash flow related problems are the main causes of delays while time and cost overruns are the major identifiable effects of delays in construction projects. However, adequate project planning and budgeting were suggested as possible ways of minimizing the occurrences of delays.

In almost every construction project, delay is an inevitable yet controllable phenomenon. The Indian construction industry encounters an enormous amount of delays in projects. Delay affects both time and money in the forms of schedule and cost overruns, respectively. Due to impressive and dynamic growth in the Indian construction sector, planned efforts are essential to limit these undesirable delays. On account of the surge in the rate of residential building construction, the task of identification and analysis of the delays in residential projects in India has been attempted by the authors. A questionnaire survey was conducted involving 100 stakeholders. Further analysis included an Importance Index to rank the identified delays, Principle Component Analysis for advanced statistical analysis, and Correlation Analysis to check the extent of agreement amongst stakeholders. Conclusions drawn with reference to the analysed data eventually reflected finance-related issues, as well as labour related problems as the dominating causes of delays. The aim of the research is to provide insight to the construction stakeholders and researchers, on an international scale, with the obtained results.

With its recent tourism boom, Vanuatu, a small country in the South Pacific, is experiencing an increasing demand for construction. However, it has been struggling with persistent schedule delays in their construction projects due to a variety of reasons. In an attempt to respond to this situation, this paper aims to identify the major causes of schedule delays in building construction in Pacific island countries, with a focus on Vanuatu. To collect data on the factors affecting schedule delays, face-to-face interviews were conducted. Based on these, seven major causes of schedule delays, as selected by the majority of the participants, were identified and discussed to provide perceptive insights for future improvement opportunities. This paper attempts to help contractors with limited resources better understand the major causes of schedule delay in Vanuatu and achieve better performance in building projects.

Indian Construction industry is large, volatile, and requires tremendous capital outlays. Typically, the work offers low rates of return in relation to the amount of risk involved. A unique element of risk in the industry is the manner in which disputes and claims are woven through the fibre of the construction process. Delay is generally acknowledged as the most common, costly, complex and risky problem encountered in construction projects. Because of the overriding importance of time for both the Owner and the Contractor, it is the source of frequent disputes and claims leading to lawsuits. The growing rate of delays is adversely affecting the timely delivery of construction projects. Presently construction industries are facing a lot of problems, considering that a paper assess construction stakeholder's perception to the causes of delays and its effects on project delivery. And also one case study is considered in this paper to elicit responses from construction stakeholders. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the perceptions of the different parties regarding causes of delays, the allocation of responsibilities and the types of delays, and method of minimizing the construction delays.

It is common to experience delays during construction projects. Delays can ca use substantial damages to an owner as well as contractors and is the sources of frequent disputes and claims. Many studies have been carried out to assess the causes of delays in construction projects. They are found to be almost similar, except some prevailed local condition. Most of the common construction delay factors are attributed to design faults, incompetent contractor, lack of team accountability etc. To minimize or eliminate the delay we have to follow the recognized fundamental principles of management such as: cost-time relationship, time priority, accountability, rewards, innovative thinking etc. The root causes of delays found out in this paper are not so much different than other previous study. If the implementing agencies properly followed the, fundamental management principles and some other related corrections as recommended in the paper, much construction delays can be avoided.

건설 산업 대부분의 프로젝트에서 공기지연의 발생은 매우 일반적이나 CPM, Bar Chart와 같은 지연분석 기법들로서는 분석하기 매우 어렵다. CPM과 Bar chart를 이용하는 분석기법들은 동시발생과 생산성 손실 지연을 분석하기에 불충분하기 때문이다. 생산성 손실 지연은 동시발생 지연 분석 및 지연 일수 산정에서 중단으로 인한 지연과 다르게 분석되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 동시발생 공기지연 분석을 포함하여 생산성을 고려한 공기지연 분석방법에 대하여 논하였다.

Construction delay is one of the basic constrains to achieve the project objectives in developing countries. This study aims to find the causes and effects of construction delays in developing countries. A thorough literature review has been done following the content analysis method. The relevant literature of 28 developing countries was collected from the scholarly journals published in the period of 2006 to 2016. The different developing countries are grouped into three geographic regions, i.e. South and Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Africa. In these regions, total 53 potential causes of delay under 8 major groups are identified. Frequency and ranking of these factors have been done. The factors, delay in progress payment by owner, contractors' cash flow problem, improper planning and scheduling, poor site management, and change order by owner during construction, are acknowledged as critical causes of delay in developing countries. This study will assist both academic and professional experts providing more insight about the construction delays and project management in developing countries.

This study analyzes critical factors that affect issues of resolving time in BIM-based coordination using a case study. According to recent buildings that are meant to be more complex, BIM-based design coordination is regarded as an essential stage of the project delivery process. In the design coordination phase, a relocation of architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical elements is conducted to avoid interference. In addition, the procedure of the development of each element in detail for the actual construction is carried out. Delays in coordination can affect delays in the entire delivery schedule of the project, and therefore many researches have focused on efficient coordination methods and how to shorten the period. In this study, we conducted a detailed analysis of the issue-resolving process using a case study, and found out that the participation of decision-makers for issue-resolving and the physical combination of trades affect delays in coordination time. In particular, we proposed the concept of organizational relation, indicating the level of decision-makers for issue-resolving, and the concept of physical relation, indicating the physical complexity of the issue, and we analyzed the effects of coordination delays.

건설공사는 프로젝트의 진행 중 내${\cdot}$외부의 여러 조건의 변경이나 사회적 요구에 따라 초기의 계약과는 다른 많은 변경사항이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 변경사항은 프로젝트 추진과정에서 많은 영향을 미치게 되며, 이로 인하여 발생되는 영향은 대부분 프로젝트의 공기지연으로 나타나게 된다. 건설공사에서 발생하는 공기 지연은 기본적으로 도급자의 면책여부에 따라 공기연장이나 지체상금의 부과 등의 결과로 나타나게 되는데 이러한 사항에 대한 발주자와 도급자의 의견이 대립될 경우 클레임으로 발전하게 된다. 클레임에서 가장 중요한 사항은 공기지연일수의 산정으로서 이는 공기지연 클레임에서 가장 중요한 부분이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 공기지연 클레임에서 가장 중요한 자료가 되는 공기지연일수 산정방법의 한 방법으로 계약 초기에 작성된 계획공정표(As-Planned Schedule)와 모든 지연이 포함된 준공공정표(As-Built Schedule including all delays) 그리고 발주자 지연이 제외된 준공공정표(As-Built schedule absent owner delays)를 비교함으로써 각 계약 구성원의 귀책으로 인한 광기 지연일수 산정방법을 제시하고자 한다.
