Abstract

Many variables are involved in the construction of road projects. These variables changes with project types and sizes, thus challenging management of these projects to uncertainties. The resulting effects of schedule overrun may be reduced but cannot be completely depleted or eliminated. At these times of scarce and competing resources, critical effects of construction delay are prompted for effective resource deployment in making investment decisions. Eleven important effects of construction delay of road projects awarded by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) derived from literature and desk file review were identified. These factors which can be linked with stakeholders in the NDDC’s road construction industry i.e., client, contractor, consultant and estate valuer were evaluated by utilising quantitative analysis to get the stakeholder’s opinions on the critical effects from the selected array. Analysis of the questionnaire was also done to assess its statistical significance. To achieve this objectives, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) which includes; Cronbach Alpha Coefficient (CAC) calculation, reliability analysis, multivariate and inferential statistics were employed. The most critical effects of construction delay of road projects awarded by NDDC in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria are: time overrun, cost overrun, litigation and Disruption to traffic movement. The next critical effects are obstruction of economical and urban movement, total abandonment, dispute, delay of other projects related to the main one, and breach of contract.
