Abstract :
This study examined the causes of construction
delays in Rwanda by setting up a system-thinking
approach. It attempted the investigation of the efficiency
and mitigation measures through a model that will curb
the project delays in the country. Rwanda presents a high
rate of project late delivery of which the research
investigated the root causes in order to come up with a
concrete solution by adopting a model alleviating the issue
of delay at hand. In order to boost the company’s
performance, there is a need to cut off the delay root cause
and this will fix the issue of financial losses that many
construction companies are facing nowadays. During the
study, the researcher adopted the secondary data use via
descriptive research responding to the research questions
through a quantitative research method This said that
critical causes of projects delay have been analyzed
throughout the study and it has been noted that the delay
factors include but not limited to consultants, contractors
and owners. Therefore, project construction delays
contribute to the companies’ inability as a hinder to
professional performance. Hence comes an issue of
balancing the time, quality, and cost. This paper covers
the critical causes of construction delays from a
substantial connection of contractor, consultant, and
owner delay-related factors in Rwanda.
