“…[38,44,58]. Some other studies considered them as resources related factors, or two groups like labor and equipment, and material, or material and labor, and equipment [15,20,30]. Beyond these groups, financial, managerial, government rules and regulations, and external factors were recognized as the common groups in most of the studies (Table 1).…”

“…slow decision making, poor coordination among the project parties, conflicts between the parties at site etc. ), and change order are high important factors causing delay in Lebanon [30]. Shortage of materials and skilled labor, financial difficulties, change order, and slow decision making by owner, lack of coordination between the design team, and design difficulties are some critical issues for construction delay in Qatar [31].…”

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.

“…Por su parte, países desarrollados como el Reino Unido, que cuentan con la disponibilidad de múltiples técnicas para el control de proyectos y software avanzado, reportan que muchos proyectos aún no cumplen con las expectativas respecto a tiempo y costo [11]. Se reporta una mayor frecuencia de desviaciones en costos y tiempos en países en vía de desarrollo [12], [13]. Analizando específicamente el tema de desviaciones en tiempos, un factor muy importante reconocido como causa es el error en los diseños [14].…”

Identificación de factores que generan diferencias de tiempo y costos en proyectos de construcción en Colombia

et al. 2018

ResumenLos retrasos y sobrecostos en proyectos de construcción son objeto de constante preocupación por parte de los desarrolladores de proyectos, ya que incluso pueden afectar la viabilidad de estos. Por esto, es necesario estudiar las causas, especialmente en Colombia donde las causas generadoras de este tipo de desviaciones no han sido analizadas a profundidad. Esta investigación, realizó inicialmente una revisión de la literatura para identificar causas generadoras de desviaciones en tiempos y costos a nivel mundial. Posteriormente, se realizó una encuesta dirigida a profesionales dedicados al desarrollo de proyectos de construcción en Colombia, para poder conocer en su concepto los factores significativos en la generación de desviaciones en tiempos y costos. Finalmente, se ejecutó un análisis de significancia basado en los factores influyentes, estableciendo las correlaciones entre estos

The examination of factors that delay construction projects is essential to project management. This study examined the effects of the potential delay factors on projects' completion time, using Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tools part of Internet of things (IoT) as a moderator variable in the model. A questionnaire-based survey was carried out and data from 466 respondents were collected from the population of four provinces in northern Iraq (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok, and Halabja). Stratified random sampling was applied amongst the three groups of owners, supervisors, and contractors, and the resulting data were analyzed using factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that management-related issues had the strongest effect on the dependent variable, and the external issues had the weakest effect. Also, IoT technology negatively moderated between the independent and dependent variables. The research consequently suggests some mitigation strategies to reduce the delay factors in construction projects.
