ANALYZING THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF DELAY IN ADDIS ABABA CONDOMINIUM HOUSING ASPHALT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
One of the most common problems in construction project delivery is delay. Projects can be delayed due to a number of reasons that may be due to the client, the contractor, consultants, or a third party and may occur early or later in the project development. Especially in Addis Ababa condominium housing asphalt road projects delayed up to 243% of its contractual time. The major aim of this research is to identify the major causes and effects of delays in condominium housing asphalt road projects in Addis Ababa. To get the desired result an intensive literature review and a questionnaire survey was used to find the perception of major parties participating in the implementation of the construction projects in the city. Based on literature review 61 causes categorized into four groups and five effects of delay were identified. The survey which was carried out through a questionnaire from 36 participants representing clients, contractors and consultants was collected and analyzed using statistical tools like bar charts; pie charts; percentages and Relative Importance Index (RII) for ranking. The findings show that the main critical factors that cause condominium housing asphalt road construction projects delays in Addis Ababa are: cash flow problems faced by the contractor, delay in delivering the site to the contractor, and inadequate early planning of the project. The study further revealed that the most frequent occurring types of effect of delay were found to be cost overrun and dispute. The finding indicated that contractor is the major source of causes of delay. Finally recommendations are forwarded based on the findings of the results.
