abstract

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of time overrun in industrial construction projects in India. An extensive review of the literature indicates factors that could possibly have an effect on delay in completion of an industrial construction project include underestimation of project cost, changes to design during construction, and project delivery method. A web-based instrument was prepared to gather the data related to the effects those variables on time overrun in industrial projects. The instrument was sent to the Chief Executive Officers of 70 randomly selected construction companies. Forty-seven completed responses were received. The data was analyzed by administering multiple regression technique using SPSS. The results of the study indicate that only the number of change orders made during construction has a statistically significant (p=<0.001) effect on time overrun in industrial construction in India.
