Assessment of Risk Factors Causing Delays in Building Construction Project in Cambodia
Pages 187 - 194
Abstract
This research aims to identify, investigate, rank, and mitigate delay factors perceived to affect private financed residential building construction project in Phnom Penh city, Cambodia in order to recommend actions of how to deal with such delays. To identify and rank delay factors, a questionnaire survey that matches the research preference was conducted. The first round of data collection showed the delay factors ranking through the Relative Importance Index (RII) method. The top ten (10) most critical delay factors were mitigated in the second round of data collection with recommended actions proposed by experts using the Delphi Technique and the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. The study results revealed the critical delay factors and their possible solutions. The list of delays affecting private financed building construction project in Cambodia was mainly dominated by the factors related to labor and material.
