Techniques of Construction Delay Analysis-A Review

The present study undertakes a thorough examination of delay analysis techniques employed in the construction sector, taking into account their impact on project timelines and financial resources. Numerous studies have been carried out by scholars on the topic of delay analysis techniques. The purpose of this research is to determine the techniques that have made the most important contributions to the development of the delay domain within the construction industry with regard to delay studies conducted all over the globe. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science database with predetermined keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria. As a result, 18 techniques to delay analyses were found between the years 1985 and 2022. According to the findings of this review article, there is currently no standard technique for evaluating delay claims. In addition, this attempt revealed that the day by day approach fulfils all of the necessary requirements, but the other strategies fall short in some areas.
