| description | Construction plays a crucial role in driving national economic growth for sustainable development.
Nonetheless, delays in many building projects emerged due to various challenges. Identifying and
addressing these delays proved essential for ensuring project success. Timely completion stood as
a key indicator of project success, whereas delays could result in increased costs and disputes
among stakeholders. This study aimed to explore the causes of delays in construction projects and
their remedial measures. Specifically, the research investigated delay factors in construction
projects across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the Machai Hydro Power Project in Mardan, the
Golen Gol Hydro Power Project in Chitral, the KOTO Hydro Power Project in Lower Dir, and the
rehabilitation of the Peshawar to Dara Adam Khel carriageway. Data was collected through
Google Forms, with participants providing valuable responses. The analysis was conducted using
IBM SPSS. Results indicated that land acquisition, client issues, consultant problems, general
factors, and budget conflicts had the most significant impact on delays. This study offered
important insights into the construction industry, highlighting strategies to mitigate these issues
and improve project efficiency. |
