| Summary: | This paper intends to analyze, define and reclassify delay in housing delivery system in Malaysia. The late delivery in construction project has become common problem in the industry, especially housing project in Malaysia. As old school approaches are not effective to mitigate the delay occurrence, there is a need to rethink and reclassified the delay factors so that the housing delivery delay could be effectively avoided. The aim of this paper is to reclassify the housing delivery delay factors in order to simplify the delays detection and mitigation provisions. The delay factors are classified into structural, institutional and cultural. A comprehensive literature review from various sources has made to carry out the study. The study found that construction stage is the major contribution to housing delivery delay. Besides, the study also identified 18 critical structural delay factors, 3 institutional delay factors, and 3 cultural delay related factors in Malaysian housing industry. |
