Abstract

Identifying factors that affect delays in construction projects can significantly improve project outcomes and lead to increased cost efficiency, improved stakeholder satisfaction, and increased project completion success rates. Recognizing and addressing potential delays contributes to a more sustainable and predictable construction process and helps efficient management of construction projects, so this research was based on this goal. The research method is mixed(quantitative and qualitative), in the qualitative part of the factors from previous studies with a content analysis approach, 34 factors were extracted, and with the Delphi phase method and the opinion of experts in three stages were adjusted to 27 factors, and in the next step, according to the confirmed factors, the exploratory factor analysis questionnaire was developed, which was completed by 128 experts who were selected after sampling from 192 people in the statistical community who have the characteristics and characteristics of the study and from the Cochran sampling formula, it's been. In order to calculate the adequacy of the volume of the statistical community, the curitis-battlette test was used and the results obtained were approved by experts. The confirmation factor analysis process has then been validated, with the kronbach Alpha coefficient used in both stages to measure their reliability. The results of the study show that indicators based on standard coefficients in order of importance include the materials and equipment index(0.90), the project management index(0.84), the financial resources index(0.72), the contractual/regulatory index(0.71) and the Human Resources index(0.53).
