The construction industry is a vigorously and new system or technique and ideas industry that produces building and infrastructures for all characteristics of commercial and domestic purposes and activities. It is a universal and worldwide industry that facilitates the development and maintenance of building, transport link and energy supplies (Howarth & Watson, 2009). But nowadays, there are many challenges and problems in construction industry especially the delays problem. Our country, Malaysia also experience the delay of construction problems. As stated by Hamzah et al. (2012), construction delay …show more content…
It is mark as the greatest common, expensively and unpredictable or high risk problem face in construction project with a enfeeble effect on the parties to a contract, Delay could be outlined as the time exceed either beyond completion date specified in an agreement or contract, or over the date that the parties agreed upon for delivery of a project in construction industry (Assaf & Al-Hejji, 2005).

This study is carried out to analyse the causes and effects of construction delay in projects. Furthermore, the outcome of this study would bring to recommendations work towards bring down or minimizing the impact of delay problem. There could be valuable financial savings on projects if construction delays can be avoided or …show more content…
In order to resolve the research problem, the proper procedure should be followed to ensure that the objectives are achieved. If this procedure is followed from the very beginning until the end, the delay in construction can be avoided.
To ensure that the research is successfully done, the data will be collected throughout the specific region stated in the limitations. The data will be collected by gathering the first and secondary data to ensure that it is more reliable. The method of collection is by referring the books and conducting interviews with several contractors.
