8/17/2019 Survey on construction delay
1/18
This survey aims to gather data about the most relevant causes for constructiondelays. It is being distributed to various parties involved in construction includingbut not limited to owners, consultants, contractors and sub-contractors.Thesecauses will then be analyzed to provide relevant solutions to minimize constructiondelay. Thank you for taking time to participate in the survey.
For the purpose of this study, please consider the following definitions.
1. Owner: An owner/client is the party responsible for the inception of a project. Their role
includes conveying the design idea to the architect, making major aesthetic decisions and funding
the project.
2. Consultant: A consultant is the Architect/Engineer. They have the calling shots on thematerials used, design, inspections and/or Quality Assurance/Quality Control.
3. Contractor: A contractor is the party who manages the construction of the project. They are
responsible for providing the workforce and materials and overseeing the completion of a projecton schedule and in budget.
4. Subcontractor: A subcontractor is the party that works for the project in agreement with thecontractor. Each subcontractor is specialized in his/her own field of work.
Additional definitions:
Contract: A binding legal document that lays out the terms and conditions for the project.
