Analysis of Causes and Effects of Critical Delay Factors in High Rise Building Projects of Kerala

The building sector is one of India’s fastest expanding industries. As the number of construction companies rises, so is the number of high-rise construction projects in Kerala. As the complexity of projects such as the number of stories, size of the building, type of building, legal aspects, stakeholders, management practices, division of labour, technology used, globalization, diversity, and so on increases, so does the need to finish and deliver the project within the estimated time and budget while maintaining a higher level of work quality. The goal of this study is to quantify the top most essential elements affecting the schedule of high-rise building projects throughout Kerala, and to give relevant recommendations and remedies to reduce construction delays. For this investigation, the Delphi approach was used. There are 76 causes of delays that are congruent with the settings and situations in the state of Kerala. The surveys were distributed to other parties, including contractors, owners, designers, consultants, research scholars, architects, and so on. The data from the questionnaire survey will be analyzed using the relative importance index (RII), and the key components will be assessed based on their contribution to the delay.
