Review of Causes of Delay in Construction Projects
Construction delay is one of the major factors globally which have a high impact in countries’ economy and development. The present paper reports an exploratory research study of previous international research into delay factors affecting project delivery. The objective of this study was to provide a general overview of construction delays in order to identify the main groups of delays and compare the UAE construction industry with international studies. In total, 14 groups were found to contribute to causing construction delays. Studies of the international and UAE construction industry are in agreement that the main group of factors that affect project completion are management factors; then, the second group comprises financial factors.
