“…The lack of proper fund management during the construction management process can cause severe financial liquidity issues. As a direct result, developers may become unable to pay the loan repayment and building costs, which ultimately causes delays or neglect of the project (Ramli et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: In construction projects, delays are disruptive and expensive. Therefore, the reason for the schedule delay needs to be identied. The delay factors determined in previous research were predominantly studied through surveys. In these studies, the participants were a stakeholder in construction projects, and the reason for schedule lateness was identied through their point of view. Design/methodology/approach: This research is conducted at a bored pile project in Opus Apartment, Batam, Indonesia. The studies are done through the Fault Tree Analysis method to find the root causes of the delay. Findings: Causes of delay in construction to prevent lateness on future construction projects. Research limitations/implications: Evaluation of delay causes on the bore pile foundation project in Opus Apartment. Practical implications: Evaluation of lateness in construction project through Fault Tree Analysis Paper type: Case Study

“…Delay factors differ from one type of project to another and have different levels of influence on schedule performance (Emam, Farrell, & Abdelaal, 2015;Santoso & Soeng, 2016). While the top factors for hydropower projects are environmental clearances, geological adversities, and local issues (Shengea, Misra, & Mishra, 2020), the top factors for residential projects are weather conditions, lack of skilled laborer due to the remoteness of the site location, and delay in progress payments by the client (Ramli et al, 2019).…”

Delay is one of the most common and complex issues that adversely affect the performance of construction pro-jects. Although much research exists on project delay, only some studies have systematically summarized and compared the causes of delay by the project type. In addition, few studies have quantitatively combined the variability across studies and related them to the responsibilities of project stakeholders. This study conducted a meta-analysis to provide quantitative and reliable evidence on delay causes combining previous research. This study categorized the top ten causes of delay published in primary research studies, calculated the average aggregate relative important index (RII) of these causes, quantitatively summarized their impact on building and road projects using meta-analysis techniques, and linked them to stakeholder responsibility. Based on an initial 160 top ten-delay causes reported, the study aggregated them into sixteen factors and seven management areas. This research found a different prioritization of delays by project type. Overall, while "site management & technical processes" was the most critical delay factor for building projects, "external issue" was for road projects. The comparison by region shows that "skills, knowledge & experience" was the most critical factor for African studies, but "late delivery and material-equipment issues" was for Asian studies. These factors were related to project stakeholders for defining mitigation actions that led to better project performance. Finally, this study provides a first taxonomy of delays, where the previous causes reported in the literature were clustered into factors and management areas.

Delay in construction projects is a significant issue and concern for most construction companies. Many studies have addressed this issue by identifying the top-ranked causes, which vary according to project type, location, and the research method used. The combined factors of delay/time overrun need further analysis to understand the top-ranked factors considering the project context. We identified 360 delay/time overrun factors of construction projects from articles published in the past 10 years in top-quality journals ranked as per scientific journal ranking (SJR). The factors were then coded and classified into categories based on their impact and the description in NVIVO software. Finally, the categories were analyzed and ranked by the relative importance index using SPSS software to identify the critical ones in global construction projects. In addition, the developed and developing countries affected by these delay factors were determined. The results revealed that the top five important factors are located under the following categories: orders and requirements; experience and productivity; financial problems; planning; and lastly both external and management categories. These categories were the highest ranking among the five top factors found in the reviewed studies and affect both developed and developing countries.
