Cause of construction delay - Theoretical framework

Abstract

Delay can be defined as time overrun or extension of time to complete the project. Construction delay is something that cannot avoided especially in government agencies in Malaysia. Therefore delay is a situation when the actual progress of a construction project is slower than the planned schedule or late completion of the projects. The causes of delay are taken from the pass literature review. There are two main type of delay: excusable delay and non-excusable delay. The literature reviews are summarized and the delay framework is constructed based on the literature review summary in context of public higher learning institution. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
