| Abstract | In construction project manageme nt, delay means the finish date of the project is beyond the date stated in contract. When delay happen s, cost often increases because of inflation or other factors. Most constr uction projects in developing countries, including Vietnam, are suffering two problems: delay and cost overrun. For the owner, delay means cost more for ca pital and loss of income from operating the outcome of the project. For constructors, delay means cost more for construction work because spending on materials, labo rs and vehicles will increase. Completing project on time and within in-pla n cost is an indicato r of efficiency in project management. However, construction progress is often changed and affected by unforeseen factors such as: contractor-rel ated problems: Poor site management and supervision, Financial difficulties, Inco mpetence subcontractors; owner-related problems, design-related and slow site clearance, etc. This report will try to find out which reas ons are main reasons for delay in Vietnam based on previous researches and personal ex perience of author. Also, solutions for this problem will be mentioned in chap ter IV as a suggestion of author. |
