Abstract |
|
In this paper, we evaluate the causes of delays in road construction projects in Saudi Arabia. The research identifies four main groups of delay causes: external factors, contractor-related factors, project management factors, and environmental factors. External factors include changes in regulations and delays in obtaining permits and approvals. Contractor-related factors include inadequate resources and poor project planning. Project management factors encompass ineffective communication and poor coordination among stakeholders. Environmental factors include adverse weather conditions and unforeseen site conditions. The study recommends measures such as improved coordination, enhanced contract management, and advanced project management techniques to mitigate these delay causes. The findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in road infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia, enabling them to implement strategies for timely project delivery and improved project performance.
