Potential Reasons for Works Delays Resulting From the Provisions of the Agreement

The course of the construction process in time is shaped by a variety of factors, which, in effect, may become the reason for delays in project completion. The paper presents the outcome of research performed with Polish building works contractors. One of the aims was to try to identify the potential reasons for delays in construction works, which result from the provisions of the agreement. Early recognition and an assessment of possible risks may assist the contractor’s attempts to eliminate them or to lessen the scale of delays in the project implementation.
