Non-excusable delays in construction
thesis
posted on 2018-10-05, 10:34 authored by Muhammad Z. Abdul MajidExisting literature and research findings indicated that delays are common amongst
construction projects in many countries across the globe. Delays can be caused by
one or more of the following: the client (excusable with compensation); force majeur
or third party (excusable delays without compensation); or the contractors (non-excusable
delays or contractor-responsible delays). Previous studies cited that
approximately 50% of these delays can be classified as non-excusable delays. The
root-causes (or factors) that cause non-excusable delays identified in these studies
however, are given no detailed attention. Improving and constantly monitoring the
factors causing non-excusable delays can help to determine and improve contractor's
performance.
This research explores issues related to the factors causing non-excusable delays. [Continues.]
