Abstract

The construction and building industry is considered one of the essential players in the economic sector that contributes significantly to creating jobs and generating financial resources. This study provides a review of the construction industry's capability available in the Middle Eastern countries, the development process, and its importance for the economic growth. It analyzes what causes construction projects to go over budget and behind schedule in an attempt to draw conclusions that can be applied to a broader body of research. Delays are costly in terms of time, money, quality, and safety. Some adverse outcomes of project delays are disputes between employer and contractor, lower revenue and productivity, and incomplete projects. This research investigates the reasons behind the construction setbacks in the Middle East and what can be done to rectify the situation. Moreover, it examines the Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a tool to reduce the construction delays. The BIM permits the digital construction of facilities before their physical structure, which aids in time management, reduces risks, improves security, and resolves problems.
