- Delay in implementation and operation is one of the common problems and challenges of construction projects. Generally, one of the main criteria in assessing the success of a project is delivering it on time and without delay. In most cases, the delay means increased overhead costs and exposure by inflation for contractor. Even with modern technology, project completion time still falls behind the schedule due to delays in running the projects. In the Middle East, due to changes in the structural economy, oil price fluctuations and rising international trade, these delays are more common. One of the reasons for this situation is the traditional style of governing contracts and projects. Since in the traditional styles, contracts are usually awarded to the bidder offering the lowest price. Furthermore, delays and increased costs usually occur during the construction phase rather than the pre-construction phase. To deal with these delays, the project manager needs to know what factors cause delays and try to address these issues. Therefore, with regard to the factors causing delay in general and considering contract and project governing conditions, the main aim of this paper is to identify the major factors leading to delay in contractions in construction projects of Iran by using questionnaires and statistical analysis. The findings indicate that the most significant cause of delay is the lack of enough knowledge about the nature of construction industry among the involved members of the projects. It is concluded that further attention and training are essential for senior managers of construction firms and organizations.

- There has been recently a growing attention towards the potential benefits of building information modelling (BIM) in construction business processes from both academia and industry practitioners. While prior research has emphasised that there is a link between the proficiency of construction companies to use BIM and the realisation of BIM benefits, little evidence exists to capture this relationship. The aim of this study is to explore the extent to which prior BIM experiences influence the perception of industry experts on potential BIM benefits. The influence of years of BIM experience on the discernment of BIM potential benefits was examined through a survey of Australian building contractors. The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that BIM experience was a significant factor in the realisation of potential BIM benefits. The results suggest that an increase in years of BIM experience foster a better understanding of BIM benefits, which consequently can lead to a more inspiring movement towards the adoption of BIM by construction organisations. The main contribution of this article is to increase awareness towards the adoption and implementation of BIM by making a link between BIM proficiency and an increased perception of BIM potential benefits in construction organisations. © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
