Abstract
The consultant plays an important role in monitoring and checking project time schedules and protecting the owner from any claims -which are the most problematic tasks. There is no existing scale with which to determine the consultant's efficiency, therefore developing an assessment technique is crucial. This research has been conducted by obtaining opinions from a field survey of Libyan experts in construction project supervision during the execution phase. The main objective is to develop a model to assess consultant's efficiency relating to construction projects delays. By applying this model to Libyan consultants, their level of efficiency can be measured. This model will also help the owner in selecting a consultant organization, and will help the consultant to improve their human resource management and professional development.

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
