Factors Affecting Delay of Industrial Construction Projects of a Selected Construction AAAA Company in the Philippines in Year 2015-2017

Abstract

This descriptive study deals on the assessment of the factors affecting the delay of industrial construction projects of a selected construction AAAA company in the Philippines in the year 2015-2017. The respondents of this study were fifty one (51) people, composing of site engineers, construction managers and project managers who were involved in industrial construction projects during Calendar Year 2015-2017. The data were carefully tallied and subjected to appropriate statistical treatments. Frequency counts, percentage, means, and independent sample T-test were used to analyze and interpret the data gathered. This study finds that most of the construction professionals in the company encountered project delays in industrial construction projects are too many to identify and enumerate. Construction delay-related factors in terms of poor site management and supervision, approval of shop drawings, shortage of resources, design errors and changes and variation orders were found as the often cause of delay in the construction projects. The age bracket between 50 years old and below indicates that most of the respondents are having 50 and below in age. In the assessment of the respondents according to age, it appears that most of the respondents were male. Lastly, in the assessment of the respondents in terms of number of years in the construction industry, it appears that all of the respondents are qualified as respondents because of having 5 years and more experience in the industry. Furthermore, the null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference in the assessment of the respondents in terms of personal profile on construction delay factors was accepted. Based on the findings, an action plan was developed and recommended to mitigate construction delay.
