causes of construction delay and its impact on client dissatisfaction. The factors are identified from literature and using these factors questionnaire is prepared and it consists of total of 40 factors causing delay. In order to collect data from the respondents, questionnaire method is used. The structured questionnaire form is send to various construction companies through email. This study has been conducted in and around Erode district for a period of seven months from July 2016 to January 2017. The study identified nine dimensions of construction delay.
Adnan Enshassi et al (2016) assess the factors leading to time and cost overruns in construction projects, Gaza Strip. The survey included 110 delay factors, 42 cost overrun factors. This study concluded that the major causes could be removed by better management practices. Remon F. Aziz et al (2016) lists the construction delay causes. The questionnaire was prepared and distributed to 500 construction from the identified 293 delay causes. Relative Importance Index (RII). The most contributing causes and groups to delays were identified, and some future suggestions were proposed.

Majed Alzara et al (2016) identifies the major causes of project delays in northern Saudi Arabia The delay factors were collected from the University Projects Director were then compared to Saudi construction projects. It gives a solution to minimize delay factors and improve its performance using Performance Information Procurement System.
Delay factors are considered to be significant role in the delivery of a construction project on time, within budget and at the required quality [26]. The success of the construction project requires sound strategies, good practices and careful judgement for completion of project on schedule and with estimates cost [1]. Delays are the most common and costly problem encountered on construction projects. Construction delays are significant part of the project’s construction life. Even with present advanced technology, and management understanding of project management techniques, construction delay projects continue to suffer incase of delays and project completion dates. The major reasons for delay includes strikes, rework, deficit organization, shortage of materials, machinery failure, change orders. Delays are costly to all parties involving in the construction industry and often result in litigation. The time and expense incurred to produce a claims document in itself is substantial. There is room for improvement in present practices for keeping track of delays. Therefore, introducing a exible and more accurate delay analysis technique can be valuable [23].
Samer Alsharif and Aslihan Karatas (2016) analyzed a framework for identifying causal factors of delay for operable nuclear power plants projects. Greeshma b Suresh and Dr.S.Kanchana (2015) had done a study on quantification of delay factors in construction industry in Kerala region. Top 10 major causes of construction delays in construction industry are identified. Prakash Rao and Joseph Camron Culas (2015) outlines the major causes of construction delays, the effects of delays, and methods of minimizing construction delays. Site management and supervision, effective strategic planning, and clear information and communication channel are the methods to minimize delays. Michal Gluzak and Agnieszka Lesniak (2015) outlines the findings of a survey aimed at identifying the most important causes of delays in construction works from the
