Impact of Delays on Construction Project Risk: Analyzing Causes and Mitigation Measures

Abstract

The prevalence of delays has a substantial impact on the hazards associated with construction projects, resulting in cost overruns, extended completion periods, and reduced quality. This analysis evaluates the impact of the primary causes of delays in construction projects at each stage, from planning to execution, and analyses their impact on project risk. Additionally, it assesses the efficacy of risk mitigation strategies implemented by project managers and investigates novel methods to enhance delay management through enhanced communication among project teams and the implementation of cutting-edge technology. The objective of this investigation is to address the deficiencies in the existing literature in order to establish a comprehensive framework for mitigating the risks associated with delays in the construction industry.
