ABSTRACT
Delay is often the result of an unpredicted event that does not necessarily indicate that the management system is ineffective; but the way that a management team responds to delays can expose its strength or weakness in relation to delay analysis and management. For a systematic delay analysis, first the cause of delay should be identified and documented. Then, the impact of delay on the schedule should be recognized and the risk of further delay should be considered. Systematic analysis will provide valuable information about different causes of construction delay that can be referred to in the future projects.
