Delay and Disruption Protocol was published by Society of Construction Law in 2002, United Kingdom. It has been well received by construction professionals for its guidance in solving delay and disruption issues. This research attempts (a) to compare the Protocol's core features with the existing references for the contracting parties, and (b) to determine the feasible use of the Protocol's distinguished features into Malaysian construction industry as a case study. The distinguished features were identified after reviewing and comparing the local contract forms and the Protocol. Subsequently, the questionnaire survey was carried out with local developers, contractors, and consultants based on an inductive reasoning approach. Statistical and variance analyses were conducted to determine the acceptance level of the Protocol's features. The results show that most of the features were agreed to by the respondents, for instance, the guidelines on float identification, concurrency identification, proper procedures on work program, and so on. The findings render useful information for future contract drafting by incorporating the guidelines into the local contract forms, particularly for commonwealth countries.
