Abstract

The construction industry is a crucial indicator of a country's GDP. However, like other industries, it faces various challenges such as delay, cost overrun, and low-quality standards. Among these, the delay is identified as a significant contributor to project failure, cost overrun, and low-quality standards. Building construction projects in Pakistan are adversely affected by delays. Therefore, this study aims to identify the common factors of construction delays globally, critical factors of delay in building construction projects in Pakistan, and the measures to control these factors. To achieve these objectives, a literature review was conducted, which resulted in the identification of 45 common factors of delay in the construction industry worldwide. Using a structured questionnaire and the average index method, 11 critical factors of delay were identified in building construction projects in Pakistan. Moreover, a semi-structured questionnaire was used to determine 44 possible mitigation measures, which were analysed using SPSS's frequency analysis method. Additionally, the Pearson correlation technique was utilized to identify the relationship between critical delay factors and mitigation measures. The findings of this study will benefit stakeholders in building construction projects in Pakistan. They can identify and control the critical factors that can cause delays in building construction projects by incorporating the recommended mitigation measures and understanding the relationship between critical delay factors and mitigation measures
