Abstract
II is common for a construction project to encounter delays. There are several reasons that can rontribute to delaying a project. Analyzing the various causes that contribute to a project’s delay is an important task to resolve it. Determination the impact of each of those causes to the overall delay assists in helping the parlies settle the delay claims without litigation. The high costs and risks associated with delay claims and their litigation impose development of methodologies and techniques to prevent and more efficiently resolve delay claims. Delay analysis is one of the construction industry dilemmas. Several researches and best practices have been developed to deal with this issue but none of the current techniques responds accu- rately to all of the four common delay issues: real time delay, concurrent delay, acceleration, and pacing delay.
In addition most of the researchers did not accommodate the construction management conditions and levels. Many attempts have been presented either by researchers or professional entities such as AACE and SCL. Some researchers tried also to present expert systems to deal with the complicated issue. The main objective of this research is to present simple road map for an easy the selection of the elay analysis technique and to increase the projects stakeholders awareness of the required do umentations. To achieve this objective, several sub objectives were considered, and are listed here: Develop a careful understanding of the current situation in delay analysis; Propose a reliable delay analysis methodologies selection advisor; Design a simple tool to facilitate the methodologies selection.
