| Abstract: | This paper is aimed at knowing the variations and causes of variation occurrence. The main objective of this research is to develop suggestive method to reduce such variation. The delays in planned work and actual work done during construction stage are considered as variations for this research purpose. The variation in construction task can affect the cost of the project to avoid this, it is necessary to improve organizational practices about delay problem in construction industry. The risk assessment matrix is used to know the effect of such causes on performance. This study helps in knowing the exact causes of delay occurrences with the help of preparing risk assessment matrix. The study is done on the residential sites for this research purpose. The method developed can be useful for minimize the delay occurrence. The implementation of this method results in increase of PPC (percentage planned completed) from 83.3% to 87.5% As the delay in construction is an issue this research has its own importance |
| Description: | The construction industry is complicated in nature. And all tasks in construction are interdependent. This interde-pendency of tasks causes much complexity because if one task is delayed, then it may affect all succeeding tasks and results in reducing productivity of the construction, so proper planning is necessary for better performance. The time is al-ways considered as money, saving time at the time of con-struction is nothing but saving money, which is involved within construction. The delays can be observed at the time of variation in planned work and actual work done. So finding root causes of variation and minimization of this variation is important for construction sector. Consider if any task re-quired 100 labour hours and actually it takes 125 labour hours then the variation is of 25 labour hours. Variation almost always exists in the MOTIVATION OF THE STUDY: The project delay is major problem in construction indus-try. Many projects experience extensive delays and thereby exceed initial time and cost estimates. Due to complex nature the delay can be occurred and the study is necessary to know the root causes of variations and to know how to overcome the delay problems. |
