Abstract:
On-time completion of road infrastructure projects is a critical goal. When
projects were not completed on schedule and real construction progress is
slower than expected, the inconvenience and disruption to business access
increases. On time completion is linked to economic and social welfare,
as well as safety. Construction delays continue to be a typical occurrence,
despite the need of prompt completion.
A literature study is conducted in this context in order to learn more about
the causes and factors that contribute to delays. Following a thorough
review of the literature, it was determined that a questionnaire survey is
the most effective and trustworthy way for gathering information about the
causes and quantifying delays caused by emergent factors. The Relative
Importance Index (RII) method was used to analyze the data, and the
reasons for the delay were prioritized according to their importance. This
study focuses on the emergent concerns/causes and reasons of concern
in road infrastructure projects, as well as how to priorities these issues
sequentially during the planning stage. This study survey can assist
construction companies doing business in India in understanding the
essential or sensitive issues that require special attention in order to conduct
their businesses smoothly in this country while employing appropriate
project management practices.
