Causes of Schedule Delays in Building Construction Projects in Vanuatu

Delays in Construction Projects: Causes and Mitigation

Schedule Multiple Highway Construction Projects

The scheduling of numerous construction projects considering several factors is an important challenge faced by construction companies, particularly road builders. Road builders need to make decision to identify the best possible schedule to complete multiple constructions while considering multiple factor such as maximizing profit, reducing risk, and resource constraints among many other factors.

Analyzing the causes of falling from height accidents in construction projects with analytical hierarchy process (AHP)

Introduction: Fall from height is one of the main causes of death in the construction workers. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and prioritize the factors affecting falls from height accidents in construction industry. Material and method: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted on five constructional projects in Pars Jonoobi industrial region, Iran. All of the reported events from...

Analyzing delay causes in Egyptian construction projects

Construction delays are common problems in civil engineering projects in Egypt. These problems occur frequently during project life-time leading to disputes and litigation. Therefore, it is essential to study and analyze causes of construction delays. This research presents a list of construction delay causes retrieved from literature. The feedback of construction experts was obtained through i...

Probability distribution fitting of schedule overruns in construction projects

The probability of schedule overruns for construction and engineering projects can be ascertained using a ‘best fit’ probability distribution from an empirical distribution. The statistical characteristics of schedule overruns occurring in 276 Australian construction and engineering projects were analysed. Skewness and kurtosis values revealed that schedule overruns are non-Gaussian. Theoretica...
