Abstract

Time overruns in construction projects is a global phenomenon and is commonly cited in Greece as well, calling for the implementation of sound and effective project management. Although construction development has presented significant prosperity the last decade, experience has showed that projects are running significantly over schedule raising the question of what the causes of such delays are and to what extent are contractors and other actors of the construction industry aware of certain project management tools and techniques that will facilitate the timely completion of a contract. The present dissertation examines and analyses the factors causing delays in large- and medium-scale projects in the private sector in Greece. It also aims to gain an insight of the Greek experience regarding project management tools and methods, the professionals' awareness of such tools and their willingness to adopt them. These are achieved through a questionnaire distributed to a number of participants in the construction industry and through interviews held with some of the respondents, with reference to a theoretical background.
