| dc.description.abstract | Schedule delay is one of the worrying problems in the construction industry. Activity delays might increase project duration, cost and sometimes cause delay claim disputes between participants in construction projects. Some methods have been developed for analyzing and measuring project schedule delays, but most of those methods contain assumptions and subjective assessments. Furthermore, conducting a study that processes a robustness test of previous researches is noteworthy. In order to analyze and examine schedule delay approaches to support the research robustness, this study implements popular schedule delay analysis methods into a real project case in Indonesia which has varied relationships among activities and high frequency of concurrent delays. Moreover, this research aims to provide a guideline in choosing the suitable schedule delay analysis method(s) for Indonesia construction practitioners and discover the characteristics of method(s) that can obtain concurrent delay result since the concurrent delay is one of important issues in schedule delay. In this study, collecting and analyzing actual project schedule information, identifying delay events, executing delay analysis and comparing analytical results have been completed to examine the possibilities of applying available methods to provide reasonable or even correct outcomes. Interviews with domain experts in Indonesia were also conducted to collect some information, advices and opinions in order providing a relevant guideline. This study concludes that most of schedule delay analysis methods can be used for Indonesia construction project. The applicability depends on the needed results and the available data. This study also provides a guideline consisting of three phases, before, during, and during/after construction project. Before construction, preparing concurrent delay, float ownership and delay categorizing issues is necessary in the contract. Categorizing schedule delay type is preferable during the construction and arranging the as-planned schedule, as-built schedule and delay time/types into one comparison table can be performed during or after the construction. In term of obtaining concurrent delay results, dividing schedule into several time frames and including the owner’s and contractor’s perspective continuously into one calculation are essential. | en_US |
