Confronting Nigerian Construction Delays through Educational Research
Keywords:
Time overrun, Construction delays, Construction Industry, Educational ResearchAbstract
In order to provide relevant and dependable knowledge, educational research is required. Through this process, the process of education can assist in the development of new techniques and methods that are both more effective and efficient in solving the issue of time overruns in building projects. Every construction project experiences delays, and the magnitude of these delays varies significantly from project to project. In Africa, construction delays are one of the most significant obstacles to the achievement of project objectives. When it comes to construction projects, they are complicated human endeavours that necessitate substantial planning and strict control in order to be effective. The findings of this study show the fundamental categories of elements that contribute to construction delays, and they further demonstrate that educational research can aid in stemming the tide of negativity in the sector.
