“…Researches on construction projects in some developing countries indicated that by the time a project is completed, the actual duration exceeds the original contract duration by about 30 % (Al-Momani 1996). In Saudi Arabia, Al-Khalil and (Al-Khalil and Al-Ghafly 1999) found that 45 out of 76 water and sewage projects in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia were completed with extensive schedule delay during the period 1985-1995.…”

This study aims at addressing schedule delay in road construction projects in Saudi Arabia. The evaluation of the progress reports of 55 road projects constructed during the period 2011-2015 in Saudi Arabia concluded that delays are extensive: the average ratio of planned contract duration to the actual completion time is 58.24%, ranging from 2% to 172%. The study also investigated the main factors and effects of schedule delay in road construction projects through a questionnaire survey. 70 contractors working in road construction completed a structured questionnaire survey. 34 identified factors were ranked according to their levels of severity, frequency, and importance. Results indicated that the top five important factors affecting schedule delay in road construction projects are: improper planning, poor labor productivity, additional works, rework, and lack of contractor experience. The study concluded that the main effects of schedule delay in road construction projects as assessed by contractors are: cost overrun, disputes, arbitration, litigation, and poor quality. Based on the study findings, the following recommendations were formulated: Managerial skills of construction parties should be improved, Labors' motivation system should be developed, More communication between construction parties should be done at the early project stages to minimize late changes during construction phase, Policy of contract awarding should be improved: resources and capabilities of bidders should be checked carefully.

A project is adjudged successful if it is completed to time, within the budgeted cost and meets client's expectation. However, there is the global issue of construction cost and time overruns, which has contributed to poor project performance. Contractors have always been seen as the culprit in this regard, whereas, the contractor is not solely involved in construction projects, there are other project team members who determine the path of the project success. This study assesses the causes of cost overruns, viewing this from the contractor's assessment of the contribution of its project team members. The study was conducted using questionnaire surveys in which 100 questionnaires were distributed to contractors using purposive sampling; data were analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics. The results show that lack of adequate pre-contract planning and project team coordination are the most significant factor among construction professionals leading to cost overruns. The study made recommendations which are of good benefit to the client, project team members and contractors.

Odeck et al (1995) assessed Norwegian toll roads in order to reveal whether planning procedure shortcomings experienced by Norwegian road agencies had resulted in poorer than projected financial performances for some of the toll roads.…”

The field survey included 26 consultants. 41 factors are identified through literature review. The factors are divided into 5 groups. The analysis of the identified 41 factors indicates that 1 factor is located in the green zone, 14 factors are located in the yellow zone, and 26 factors are located in the red zone of the risk map. The results indicate that the top five affecting factors are: political situation, fluctuation of prices of materials, economic instability, currency exchange, and level of competitors. It is hoped that these findings will guide efforts to enhance the cost performance of construction industry.
