Analysis of Contractor-Related Delay Factors in Building Construction

The unforeseen circumstances which can lead to delays are one among the most significant issues in the construction business. Listing the reasons for these delays is important to minimize and improve construction quality, time, and financial management. This will facilitate the on-time completion of the project. This research concentrates entirely on contractors' influence in these delays. Contractors, engineers, project managers, and civil engineers were asked for feedback on how to prioritize the identified elements. Overall results showed that labour shortages, material shortages, contractor financial problems, subcontracting problems, inaccurate time and cost estimates by contractors were major concerns.
