For decades, reputation of the construction industry has been tainted by poor cost performance caused by project cost overrun. In addition, studies by scholars worldwide have also found cost overrun to be more serious in developing countries compared to the developed countries. Despite the numerous researches addressing the issue of cost overrun in the construction industry through the years, the issue remains. Acknowledging that maintaining good cost performance is a key factor of project success and that the issue has persisted for decades, this study aims to explore the distinction of cost overrun studies that has been conducted between developed nations and developing nations. In achieving this aim, a systematic literature review is performed by following the integrative steps of PSALSAR (Protocol, Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, Analysis and Report) and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) for screening and selecting the retrieved studies. The synthesis and screening of literatures have yielded with 152 articles which are then classified into their countries, developed countries (44) and developing countries (108). The results indicated a significant difference in the domain of research on cost overrun between the 2 nations. Despite the numerous studies on cost overrun in the developing nations compared to developed nations, the majority of the studies are not directed to any specific type construction while developed nations have moved forward to focus on more specific projects. The project with the highest attention in the developed nations is transport infrastructure construction projects, particularly rail infrastructure projects. The findings of this study have shown that there have been broad studies conducted on cost overrun in both developing nations and developed nations. However, there is a slight lacking in comprehensiveness of cost overrun studies in the developing nations, perhaps future studies on cost overrun in developing nations can be directed to more specific areas of construction projects such as those that have been performed by researchers of the developed nations.

“…As stated by Abdullah et al (2018), delays in subcontractor's work, lack of subcontractor skill, and poor planning and scheduling were the most crucial factors causing a delay in Palm oil refinery construction projects in Malaysia. Sweis et al (2018b) reported causes of delay in Iran's oil and gas projects using root cause analysis and under five categories consisting of financial-, operational-, site-, human and equipment-and external-related.…”

Purpose Successful implementation of construction projects is one of the crucial factors for the economic development of every country. The main part of the countries’ capital is allocated to civil and infrastructure projects annually, most of which are accomplished with delay. Construction projects are often criticized for overrunning time and budgets. Analyzing the factors causing delay is essential for omitting them and timely implementation of these projects. Due to the importance of oil projects, this study aims to investigate and analyze the factors causing a delay in Iran’s oil construction projects. Design/methodology/approach In this research, after a broad literature review, using the fuzzy Delphi method, a total of 75 delay factors were identified under 11 major categories of owner, contractor, consultant, equipment, labor, materials, design, contract and contractual relations, laws and regulations, environmental factors, and managerial factors. Then, by using the best-worst method, the factors were prioritized. Findings The results showed that sanction, governmental management systems, weak project management by the contractor, technical and managerial weaknesses of the consultant, financial problems and delay in payment by the owner, low efficiency of the equipment, low productivity of the workforce, changes in laws and regulations, inappropriate organizational structure linking to the project, changes in the design, and changes in the price of materials are the most crucial factors causing a delay in Iran’s oil construction projects. Research limitations/implications These findings are expected to have significant contributions to Iran’s oil construction industry in controlling the time overruns in construction contracts. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is to develop a comprehensive framework in which, causes of delay in Iran’s oil construction projects are addressed and prioritized.

“…This demonstrated among many the experiences of the respondents, improving the credibility and reliability of the information provided by the respondents on the subject. The second part then investigated the awareness of PPE adaptation in infrastructure projects [20]. The third part identified and assessed the safety factors and barriers of PPE adaptation in infrastructure projects [21].…”

The construction industry is a dynamic and revolutionary industry that come up with projects in terms of infrastructure and buildings. It has been facing with safety challenges in every project. The statistic shows that the increases in fatality cases and permanent disablement cases due to accidents at Malaysian construction sites are one of the highest compares to other industries. On top of that, as the COVID-19 pandemic challenge rises globally, safety measures need to be taken in construction projects by implementing personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid the transmission of the COVID-19. This study examines the safety management and hazard in infrastructure projects through PPE and investigates the effect of COVID 19 on the construction industry. The safety factors and barriers for PPE adaptation about safety encountered were identified through the literature review, then a questionnaire survey was carried out at different companies. Finally, to avoid the transmission of the COVID-19 at the construction sites, this study comes out with practical recommendations and safety measures towards the importance of the application of PPE in infrastructure projects.
