Abstract

Construction projects generally have a planned and scheduled time. However, in the reality there are still obstacles in project work delays, such as in PT Jagat Konstruksi, Jakarta. This article will discuss about project delays. The purpose of this study is to find the main causes of project delays and to identify and classify the causes of the delay. The research was conducted by a case study method on 5 projects handled by PT Jagat Konstruksi during 2016- 2019. To analyze the delay (Mean, Average, Relative Index, Factor Analysis), it is done with statistical tools, such as Excel and SPSS. The delay in the construction project was caused by a chain reaction, from one factor to another. This research finds that the shortage of labour aspect is the strongest factor. Meanwhile, the research results show that there are 4 groups project delay factors: (1) resources availability; (2) internal limitation; (3) external limitation; and (4) financial.
