Abstract
A considerable amount of literature has been published to evaluate the uncertainty factor of late delivery in construction industry. However, very limited research has been done to evaluate the uncertainty in the context of financial and environment factors. In fact, environmental issues such as acts of God (unpredictable weather and disaster), and acts of human (political, accidents and skills matters) actually are a very common uncertainties problems in construction project. Furthermore, uncertainty also can be referred as complexity and risky of environmental. It will impact the scheduled company if the issues were not identified or managed in earlier stage. The delay may occur in construction project or at worst, the project might fail to deliver on time. Therefore, this research will investigate and identify the relationship of the causes and effects for uncertainties factors of late delivery in construction industry. The underlying causes and effects of the uncertainties will be identified by a comprehensive analysis. Main aim of this paper is to provide a structure and direction to fix the uncertainty factors by proposed the methodology to develop the model of underlying causes and effect of the uncertainties. A comprehensive review of various uncertainties factors in literature were also presented to give an indication to practician.
