Abstract

Delay in the construction industry is a global phenomenon and are considered as one of the most persistent problems throughout the world. Its persistence lie in its significant cause to cost overrun which most often than not lead to abandoning the project. Although such in present more in some countries as against others, the construction industry of Yemen is no exception to it. The key controlling features of project success—time, cost, quality and safety—for a project are adversely affected by the impacts of such delays. The time extension in construction projects has many after effects among which the main are time extension, cost overrun, disputes, arbitrations and litigations. Previous studies have mostly emphasized on the major causes or the effects of project delays. The main purpose of this study is to identify the influential factors negatively affecting project successful completion on time. Using a picked set of 33 factors, this investigation at first recognized the key components influencing project completion in Yemen. A study has surrounded the reason of this survey and distributed to study. The result covers that the 5 critical factors which significantly impact to project successful completion including money cash flow during construction, the conflict between owners and other parties, delay in running bill payments for the contractor, poor project management, and slow decisions from the owner. The impact of (IF) contrarily impacts to time extension cost overrun, adversely influence to the fulfillment of the stakeholder, adversely influence to specialized specification and adversely influencing to satisfaction all meeting all the project goals/safety. These revelations are required to be basic obligations to Yemen construction industry in controlling the time and cost overpower being created.
