TIME IMPACT STUDY OF REAL ESTATE SECTOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS POST APPLICATION OF LEAN PRINCIPLES FOR DELAY RESOLUTIONS

One of the long standing issues in the field of real estate sector construction disputes claims is the determination of a party responsible for occurrence of delays, delayed duration and its impact on as-planned construction schedule. A classification of delay analysis models shows that no model yet exists that is able to collect the causes of construction delays with determination of party responsible for it by evaluating time overrun due to addition of various delays in as-planned construction schedule, and to suggest delay prevention measures to minimise their arrival in real estate projects. The purpose of this document is to develop and test of such a design method to find construction delays liability in real estate sector construction projects by collecting delays arrival causes with the prevention measures that should be adopted to minimize occurrence of construction delays. A methodology is developed for resolving real estate construction disputes claims by finding a party responsible for delay arrival and enable one to follow lean construction principles to avoid same type of delay in other work packages and in other real estate construction projects. The tests of this design method with the participants reveal that by completing the steps in the proposed design procedure, users will have detail of causes of time overrun of an activity/work package of real estate construction projects, the responsible delay caused party will be asked for compensation based on delayed time and the last step of design method provides suitable principles to users to be efficient in performing delay- free work
