Abstract:
As an important indicator of poor project performance, late
project completion is a result of delay. While delay itself is caused by
numerous factors, their effects that eventually lead to late project
completion are realized as waste in term of time. This research investigates
how construction professionals agree on what contribute to late project
completion based on construction waste. The result should help provide
insight into how different types of construction waste affect project
performance. For this purpose, respondents consisting of construction
professionals in South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan Provinces were
invited to a questionnaire-based survey. They were asked seven questions,
each regarding whether a particular type of waste contributes to late project
completion. Gwets gamma coefficient was used to perform a consensus
analysis of the answers. A consensus was reached that five out of seven
types of waste contribute to late project completion. They include waiting,
transport, extra processing, motion, and defects. Implications of the results
are discussed and directions for future research are recommended.
