DELAY IN CONSTRUCTION IN MELBOURNE2Chapter 1: Introduction1.1Background of the Study The process of construction is an activity that is highly complex with all uncertainties likeeconomical, physical and financial risks (Newton, Skitmore and Love 2014). There are alsocomplexities that include documentation and variations complexities. Researchers of the paststated that while a construction is going on, the risk that comes in the constructing process canlead to any delaying factor that arises between the parties that are involved in the construction.About 50 percent of the construction projects are delayed from 500 million projects that are heldin Australia (Al-Werikat 2017). The main requirements that lead to delaying of processes in theconstruction projects are mainly based on justice and the methods are impartial and fair.Australia has some common law regarding the construction process. For the litigation process,the law is based on adversary system that consists of a number of statements regardingarguments and facts that are taken forward by groups or parties that faces challenge from theopponent parties or groups (Regan 2014). The other delaying mitigating processes involves ADR(Alternative Dispute Resolution) which is a non-binding method which acts as a contractbetween the parties that are involved in the construction. Dispute Review Board mostly knownas DB or DRB is a method known as Dispute Avoidance Procedure to mitigate different delaysthat arises in the construction process (Wang et al. 2014). There are also other techniques that areinvolved in mitigating the factors that delays the construction process of buildings. This processis known as the voluntary negotiations between all the parties that are involved in the process.The third party that is involved in the construction process assists negotiations that involveadjudication, conciliation and meditation (Boateng, Chen and Ogunlana 2015). There are also

The construction industry ofMelbourne is mainly based on the relationship with compare to all other industries. So thesolutions that leads to ADR methods which involves flexibility to mitigate the technical issuesand also preserve the relationships to minimize the adverse publicity (Hyari, El-Mashaleh andRababeh 2015). The attention is directed to dispute resolutions when the contract is prepared andnegotiation is done to avoid the cost of construction. 1.2 Problem Statement The problem that lies in the construction of the Melbourne construction is mitigating thedelaying factor that arises in the construction process. There are many problems that lie behindthe delay construction of the housing projects in Melbourne. The strategies that help to mitigatethe problem that lies in housing construction of the projects in Melbourne. 1.3 Research Aim The aim of this research is to find out the importance of all the factors that effects inselecting the delaying methods in the city of Melbourne when they are compared with the (DRB)Dispute Review Board and also the current delay resolution process efficiency in Melbourne. 1.4 Research Objectives To investigate the different types of factors associated with the delay in constructionprojects.To analyze the major reasons behind the delay in the construction projects in Melbourne.To understand impacts of the delay in the construction projects in Melbourne.

The issues that arise in construction process are mainly with theincreasing cost of the project. The cost of the project is rising tremendously in Australia which isthe main issue of the constructing sites (Adeleke¹, Bahaudin and Kamaruddeen 2015). The risingof construction increases mainly because of the rise in cost of metals that are needed in buildingprocess, Australian dollar value increase and also the rising in the interest rates of the loan. Thesecond issue that arises in construction rates is about the quality control. The quality ofconstruction is decreasing day by day because there is no rules and regulations which areestablished by the government of Australia to maintain the best standard of quality (Sidawi and
