Hatush, Z; Saleh, S and Shiki, A (2005) Effect of critical delay factors on cost: Overrun during the design stage. In: Khosrowshahi, F (ed.) Proceedings of 21st Annual ARCOM Conference, 7-9 September 2005, London, UK.
Abstract
As known the design stage in the project life cycle requires good management, continuous improvement, and new technologies and resources. In Libya most of the local and international bureaus have failed to meet its obligation and satisfy their clients needs . The aim of this paper is to identify the critical factors and variables that influence the delay and investigate it's effect on cost - overrun in construction projects during the design stage, noting that these factors might be caused by the consultant bureaus or clients or third parties. The initial results of this research suggests that the majority of delay factors comes from the owners, in which the administrative procedures, legal requirement, financial tightness are the main concern and they play the major role in cost-overrun.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
