1.0 Introduction
Public and private sectors play’s a great role in the construction industry because it’s highly important to Kuwait. Kuwait’s budget that’s designated by the government is really huge which assigned to huge governmental projects, therefore any cause of delay must be well studied to bypass any primary losses. This report discuss causes and effects of delays in construction projects evaluated by Electromechanical Engineers in both Public and Private sector projects in Kuwait.In this report we are trying to find out the problems and solutions to the important and very important issues that occurs in Kuwait construction in both public and private sectors of the construction industry
