ABSTRACT
Construction projects are subjected to various uncertainties and frequently cause delays,
resulting in unanticipated extra costs being incurred by both contractors and clients. The
research to date suggests that the costs caused by delays are highly significant. Hence, it is in
the interests of all parties that delays, or their effects, are reduced. Various techniques for
analyzing delay have been developed over the years. Although delay techniques have been
very useful, they have wide differences as to their capabilities and the accuracy of the results
produced.
The Time Impact Analysis or Impacted as-planned method has evolved as the preferable
technique to resolve complex disputes related to delay and compensation for delays. The
main purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of construction schedule delays and the
methods of schedule delay analyses. In this context, construction works of an international
stadium project in Kerala, India was chosen and Impacted as-planned method was applied to
the case study project in order to determine the construction schedule delays; to measure the
impacts of these delays on the project completion duration; and to allocate responsibility
amongst the project participants for preventing delay claims. These delays were caused due to
organizational deficiencies of the owner, owner caused delays, the bureaucracy of the
provincial municipality, lack of consensus within governmental organisations, contractor’s
financial difficulties, problems in material procurement, shortages of labour and.
unforeseeable weather conditions. After the application of the delay analysis it was observed
that the delays in the critical activities extended the project duration by 101 days in total i.e.
by 11.8% of the estimated construction period.
