“…Some of the specific features from the Protocol are targeted for certain situations of the program used in the project, for instance, the delay analysis methods. There is none of the delay-analysis methods that could be acceptable for any given claim situations (Braimah and Ndekugri, 2009). The situations are difficult to predict as many uncertain variables affect activity durations (San Cristobal 2013).…”

Revisiting U.K. Delay and Disruption Protocol: Distinguished Features for Contract Drafting

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.

“…Due to the downsides of the existing delay analysis methods, their techniques and effectiveness were detected as the most frequently mentioned and widely discussed themes by the researchers [10,21,51,57,[85][86][87][88][89][90]. Despite the numerous contributions made by the researchers, the delay issue remains one of the biggest concerns of the construction industry and most of the projects still suffer from dispute resolution in terms of time.…”

Numerous studies have been conducted by researchers on the delay analysis topic, which is one of the primary areas of scientific study due to the effects of delays on time and cost in construction projects. Following fruitful contributions made by the researchers, it is believed to be extremely important to summarize the existing studies in terms of being a road map for future studies and practitioners. In this context, not only does this study aim to detect the most significant authors, sources, organizations and countries contributing to the improvement of delay domain in the construction industry concerning delay analyses worldwide but also to provide the researchers with extensive insights concerning the prominent research themes, trends and gaps in the literature. Hence, 168 documents related to delay analyses from 1982 to 11 February 2021 were detected through the Scopus Database and the Web of Science Database, and scientometric analyses were conducted via VOSviewer software. By evaluating the related research, two main research areas were detected in this field, namely; improving the delay analysis methods and resolving the disputes before they occur. This study is believed to make theoretical and practical contributions in that it examines the delay analysis topic in all aspects such as prominent institutions, countries, authors and sources, synthesizes the data and highlights possible research domains, gaps and trends concerning the delay analysis topic in construction industry.

“…Normally, actual time to deliver the completed project is subject to various periods of execution, while-delay refers to delay in the actual work or services (Galloway and Nielsen, 1990). Braimah and Ndekugri (2009) consider delay analysis as a mean of providing the justification and quantification of the time and/or cost consequences necessary to resolve the different contentions. In other words, in evaluating a delay, it is the contractor's job to explain why delays have occurred to the project and then, through a cause-and-effect analysis, the findings will show which delays are due to the responsibility of the employer, contractor, or subcontractor (Lee, 2003).…”

Design changes in construction projects are always going to happen and cannot be avoided. Design changes are the primary contributor to disruption of time and cost performance of construction projects. Previous research in this domain lacks of detail studies on systematic review on the existing literature. This paper reviewed literature published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings in the construction management field and had emailed several questions to the expert in construction industry. The objectives were to recognize the causes and impacts of design changes on project performance and to provide insights for future studies in Malaysian context. The findings indicate that design changes originate mainly from the owner side are identified as important causing factors to time overruns and cost overruns. This paper proposes framework for the management of design changes in construction projects.
