subject of construction delays was widely discussed and analyzed by various researches in the past decades, however, delays in construction projects were still being reported although several research projects were conducted on the subject to address the issues, the continuous occurrence of the delays in construction projects bring the researchers to review the issues again, and to enhance the knowledge in the construction industry in the view of overcoming the issues related to construction delays. This
Construction industry is one of the most important industry to a country’s economy development and productivity. Like many other American industries, the construction industry is being transformed to meet the new demand of the 21st century global economic development. This paper will analysis how resource allocation can impact a project management in construction industry and how can project manager use resource allocation to improve the project efficiency. 2. Construction Industry introduction
India, Construction Industry plays a key role in both economic growth and poverty reduction. The industry consumes about 40 to 50% of the national five year plan outlay and contributes to nearly 20% of GDP. Construction industry is the second largest industry next only to agriculture in terms of providing employment in India (Construction Industry Development Council). Government is targeting an economic growth of around eight per cent during the Eleventh five year Plan (2008-12). Construction projects
Project Life Cycle & Events: The main project construction of Birds Nest Stadium was started in December, 2003 and finished in June, 2008 with a break of one and half year in 2004 due to excessive construction cost (Wei, 2011). However, The Birds Nest Stadium, like all other projects, also had the common life cycle of- 1. Conceptualization- which include the primary target and technical description of this project. 2. Planning- where all the schedules, specifications and plans were developed. 3
impact on construction sector. The construction sector, one of the engines of economic growth over the past decades, is now facing with serious challenges as companies closures ,increase in unemployement and postponded and even investment cancel. These have changed the clients and construction industry behaviour. Due to increase in competition among different companies of the construction sector increases the pressure to improve the quality, productivity and reduce cost and necessary for project strategies
5.5 Kaligandaki A (144 MW) The Kali Gandaki A project was established with an objective to help meet the increasing demand for electricity in Nepal in an environmentally sustainable, socially acceptable as well as least-cost manner. The project’s objective also included improving the financial and operational performance of NEA (executing agency) (Nai 2004).

Configuration control is a useful document that guides the construction engineers in delivering the final product that meet the client requirements and specifications; and that they are built according to approved design documentation. Configuration control consists of certain techniques, competences, and relevant structural tools, which enable the engineers to ensure the consistency of the design and physical properties, requirements, and functional features. Configuration control necessary for

The infrastructure development is a critical part of an economy. A well developed physical infrastructure provides efficient services, enhances competitiveness and pave the way for strong economic growth. Infrastructure includes transportation, power, sanitation and health facilities, water supply, education etc which has a direct impact on the quality of life. Infrastructure bottlenecks have been a major impediment to growth in India as the existing infrastructure base is lagging behind when compared
Appendix #3 Project Title: The Equalization Basin Year / Duration of project: 1971/ six-months Project Objective: Replace a liner in a 250,000 gallon in-ground basin, designed for multiple waste flows of 4000 gallons a minute. The flow had high temperature, low pH and a high content of abrasive material. All material was strongly agitated. The existing Basin liner, a rubber liner covering concrete, had shredded. The agitation was delaminating the rubber liner from the concrete and the concrete
