Abstract:
Construction delays are one of the major concerns for the stakeholders involved in the
construction industry. Our effort was to determine various kinds of delay drivers and then
analyzing them. We used three approaches in order to determine the delay drivers in the
construction industry. First one was the event sequence mapping technique that assisted us in
the evaluation of critical delay drivers. Then questionnaire survey was conducted among the
professionals involved in the industry. The third one was the subjective case study of specific
public sector projects. Then a list of delay drivers were obtained and classification of those was
done on the basis of Relative Importance Index (RII). At last the most critical delay drivers
were determined on the basis of results obtained.
