Eng., M. Eng. Supervisors: Prof Nashwan Dawood and Dr Qiang Xu Centre for Construction Innovation and Research, School of Science and Engineering, Teesside University, UK A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Teesside University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May – 2012 i ABSTRACT Construction delays are one of the biggest issues facing the construction industry and affecting delivery in terms of time, budget and the required quality. The characteristics of delay factors and their level of impact vary from project to project, ranging from a few days to years. They have significant financial, environmental and social impacts in construction projects; therefore, it is vital to investigate the causes of delay and analyse their impact. In this context, the research study was initiated to develop a new methodology for analysing and quantifying the impacts of delay factors on construction projects. A comprehensive literature survey was conducted to build up general background knowledge of delay factors in construction projects and particular attention was paid to identifying the potential differences in delay factors between Libya and the UK.
