O.O. Amu, O.A. Adeoye and S.O. Faluyi
In this study a total of one hundred and fifty questionnaires were given to fifty targeted companies in Lagos, Oyo and Osun states in Nigeria, studying the effects of the six incidental factors. From the results of the responses to the questionnaires, the delays in the completion time due to the incidental factors of inclement weather, force majeure, changes in government policy, market variables, unfavourable site conditions and malfunctioning of plant and equipment were 14, 22, 21, 8, 26 and 9%, respectively. This revealed that unfavourable site conditions and force majeure were the highest and lowest of the incidental factors causing delays to the timely completion of construction projects in the selected states.
