Identifying Factors Causing Delays and Cost Overruns in Construction Projects in Colombia

Construction project delays and cost overruns represent a source of concern for project developers, potentially affecting project feasibility. Thus, it is important to determine the causes of these issues, especially in Colombia where such causes are not well understood. In this research, a literatu...

description Construction project delays and cost overruns represent a source of concern for project developers, potentially affecting project feasibility. Thus, it is important to determine the causes of these issues, especially in Colombia where such causes are not well understood. In this research, a literature review was performed to identify causes of time delays and cost overruns around the globe. Subsequently, a survey of project-development professionals in Colombia was carried out in order to ascertain, in their opinion, the significant factors leading to time and cost deviations. Lastly, a statistical significance analysis was reported using the influential factors determined in the previous two steps, in order to establish correlations among these and other aspects, including scale and project type, business size, among others, implementing statistical and computational tools. This paper demonstrates that inadequate planning and lack of integration among professionals are the most significant factors contributing to construction delays and cost overruns in Colombia.

Por esto, es necesario estudiar las causas, especialmente en Colombia donde las causas generadoras de este tipo de desviaciones no han sido analizadas a profundidad. Esta investigación, realizó inicialmente una revisión de la literatura para identificar causas generadoras de desviaciones en tiempos y costos a nivel mundial. Posteriormente, se realizó una encuesta dirigida a profesionales dedicados al desarrollo de proyectos de construcción en Colombia, para poder conocer en su concepto los factores significativos en la generación de desviaciones en tiempos y costos. Finalmente, se ejecutó un análisis de significancia basado en los factores influyentes, estableciendo las correlaciones entre estos y aspectos como magnitud, tipo de proyecto, tamaño de las empresas, entre otros, implementando herramientas estadísticas y computacionales. El estudio arrojó la inadecuada planeación y falta de integración entre profesionales como uno de los factores más influyentes en la fluctuación de costos y tiempos en el país.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ingciencia/article/view/3619Copyright (c) 2018 Sara Lozano Serna, Ivonne Patiño Galindo, Adriana Gómez-Cabrera, Andrés TorresAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITIngeniería y Ciencia; Vol 14 No 27 (2018); 117-151Ingeniería y Ciencia; Vol 14 No 27 (2018); 117-151Identifying Factors Causing Delays and Cost Overruns in Construction Projects in ColombiaIdentificación de factores que generan diferencias de tiempo y costos en proyectos de construcción en Colombiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionarticlepublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Construction projects in ColombiaConstruction delaysConstruction cost overrunsStatistical analysisProyectos de construcción en ColombiaRetrasos en la construcciónSobrecostos en la construcciónAnálisis estadísticoLozano Serna, SaraPatiño Galindo, IvonneGómez-Cabrera, AdrianaTorres, AndrésPontificia Universidad JaverianaIngeniería y Ciencia1427117151ing.ciencTHUMBNAILminaitura-ig_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgminaitura-ig_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgimage/jpeg265796https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/6ae5327c-bbf0-4f04-9fec-176777b564ab/downloadda9b21a5c7e00c7f1127cef8e97035e0MD51ORIGINALdocument (4).pdfdocument (4).pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf2689901https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/5354f90e-792f-4a98-b320-624ccd11e423/download29e196cc3a2bcf46584750a188efe8fdMD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/9796d7ea-9f40-4e81-ab9f-bda986a4b20b/download2cc551447cff0f4b0588ac506264cbe7MD5310784/13194oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/131942020-03-01 12:51:24.71http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Copyright (c) 2018 Sara Lozano Serna, Ivonne Patiño Galindo, Adriana Gómez-Cabrera, Andrés Torresopen.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
