The context of delays significantly affects delay responsibility. Among other things, recoverable damages for a delay should be related to the timing of the corresponding delay and its effect on indirect costs. This paper presents an alternative and integrated approach for quantifying and apportioning delay responsibility. It considers the context of a delay in terms of its timing and the degre...

Delay can be defined as time overrun or extension of time to complete the project. There are high possibilities that delay issues in final account closing cannot be avoided especially in construction project in Malaysia which is unique and dynamic in the terms of nature of design and technical skill. Delay in final account closing is a situation when the actual planning (time and budget allocat...

We develop a dynamic prioritization policy to optimally allocate a scarce resource among K projects, only one of which can be worked on at a time. A project is represented by a Markov decision process, with states corresponding to the performance of the project output. Equal and uniform delay penalties (discounting) correspond to a “multi-armed bandit” (MAB), a well studied problem in the liter...

Depok is one of the big cities in West Java, and it a buffer zone for capital city Indonesia, Jakarta. Hence, government very active developing city, especially building housing settlements. There are many projects handled by but often delayed. To solve these problems, purpose this research to identify construction project delay factor. 5 variables studied study such as owner factors, contracto...
