Parchami, J M and Shoar, S (2017) A hybrid SD-DEMATEL approach to develop a delay model for construction projects. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 24(4), pp. 629-651. ISSN 0969-9988

Abstract

This paper identifies the important factors influencing on delay in construction projects revealing that factors related to labors and client are the most important and influential factors; and external-related factors are the least important ones.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCTA

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
