An Empirical Analysis of Cost, Time, and Quality Relationships Using Correlation and Regression Techniques
Abstract: Cost, time, and quality have been recognized as the three key dimensions that determine construction project performance and are commonly represented through the "Project Management Triangle." However, despite their theoretical linkage, there is limited empirical evidence to quantify the nature of their relationships, particularly within developing construction markets. This paper seeks to contribute to addressing this shortfall by investigating the specific influence of cost and schedule variations upon quality outcomes …

Evaluating Delay Impacts: From Root Cause Analysis to Dispute Resolution
Abstract: Construction projects inherently involve complex coordination among multiple stakeholders, interdependent tasks, and unpredictable external challenges, which frequently cause schedule overruns and disputes. Traditional contractual mechanisms—such as extensions of time (EoT), liquidated damages, and force majeure clauses—serve to define responsibilities, allocate risk, and establish formal dispute pathways when delays arise. For example, EoT provisions protect contractors from penalties when delays are beyond their control, provided proper notice and evidence are submitted …
