Abstract

In India regularly, construction projects have met delays. This research has employed a questionnaire survey to elicit the causes of this situation by interviewing 31 Indian construction experts by paying visit to 18 residential construction sites. The survey was carried out by asking questionnaires to 8 project owners, 4 contractors, 10 site engineers, 3 project managers, and 6 supervisors. Seventy three (73) causes of delay appropriate with residential construction projects were inferred and ranked with respect to frequency of occurrence, degree of severity and importance indices. This causes were classified into nine (9) groups according the sources of delays; factors related to project, owner, contractor, consultant, design team, materials, equipment, manpower (labour), and external factors. Frequency of occurrence and degree of severity were categorized on a four-point scale.
