Complex construction projects are likely to finish more than six months late because of poor time control, according to research by the Chartered Institute of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ.
The study examined the construction industry’s methods of time management, the techniques used and the competence of those engaged in the process.
The survey also found :
- The design team is rarely consulted by the contractor about a time-management strategy.
- The more complex the project, the less likely it is to be completed on time.
- A high proportion of complex projects are likely to be completed more than six months late.
- The type of construction contract and procurement method has no effect on the incidence of delays.
- The contractor is usually held to be at fault for delayed completion.
- Delayed progress is not often notified promptly or widely.
