A Structured Approach for Questionnaire Survey of Construction Delay

Abstract

<jats:p>Construction delay is a common problem costing the industry billions of dollars every year. The first step to reduce this unnecessary loss is to identify the major delay factors. More than 200 studies on major construction delays have been reported using self-administered questionnaire surveys of views of project participants. The present approach adopted is reviewed by a case study of Egypt. Thirty-two delay factors were identified as major construction delay factors. A thorough review of these eight studies revealed many shortcomings in the present approach. A structured approach is proposed for questionnaire survey to study major construction delay factors.</jats:p>

Construction Risks in Developing Countries: A Vietnam Case Study

“…The Cronbach's Alpha Coefficients of the internal consistency reliability tests for risk factors' frequency and severity ratings of the survey results are 0.928 and 0.942 respectively. Litwin & Fink (1995) and Kog (2019) suggested that consistency is high when Cronbach's alpha is above 0.7. This confirmed that there is high internal consistency among the answers.…”

The Improvement Factors of Leadership Skills among Project Managers in Pre-Construction Phase of Sustainable Construction Projects

“…A number of 200 questionnaires were distributed via an online survey (Google Docs) to respondents (project manager with prior expertise in managing sustainable construction), and 153 responses were successfully received, resulting in a response rate of 76.5%. A response rate minimum of 50% is considered realistic (Kog, 2019). In light of these points, the response rate can be regarded as capable of producing reliable results.…”
