Factors Influencing Construction Time Delay on High Rise Projects in India

Abstract

In Construction Project delay can be defined as the time overrun from the agreed upon a time which can be written & signed in the form of contract or verbal mutual agreement. Construction Projects often face delays and uses unnecessary time due to various factors and reasons, and hence suffer from unfavourable consequences. This study will identify the significant delay factors from an intensive literature review, supplemented by delay factors in major Indian construction projects based on empirical data. A total of eight ongoing construction projects were selected for the study. And a questionnaire is also used to collect reasons for the delay, their frequency, importance, and severity. 53 valid responses received from the project managers. SPSS 21 tool package is used for statistical analysis and the tests performed were Severity index and the correlation between the attributes. The findings of the study concluded that the maximum severity for delaying projects is due to Design Variation followed by Lack of Proper Planning, and Shortages of Skilled Labour.

Study of Significant Factors Affecting Construction Productivity Using Relative Importance Index in Indian Construction Industry

“…the results obtained shows that the management team needs to work more on the planning and clarity of the work, it's not are the technical aspects contributing to the decreased productivity, The lack of spending less time on planning by the management is amongst the main factor to contribute the less productivity so an organization need to concentrate and work on it . The improper supervision by the employee contribute to another major factor followed by the poor sight management to affect the productivity [20], [34], [44], [48]- [50]. This study also shows that the motivation of the employee/ labour is also one of the factors which contributes to it.…”

“…Reliability analysis is the measure of consistency of data collected for the study, and its value lies from 0-1. The greater is the value is considered more reliable for the study [44]. respectively.…”
