Civil engineering (General) The main purpose of project management of road construction is to make sure the project completed in timely manner. Hence, the project shall be managed properly to avoid any failure / delay in the completion of the project that will cause the project be at risk throughout the construction process. One main reason for the failure and delay is when risk management and assessment are not being carried out efficiently and effectively. The objectives of this research is to identify the significant major delay factors, determine the risk ranking for the significant major delay factors and recommend the risk mitigation measures for the significant major delay factors in project management of road construction to reduce the impact of the risk. For this research, the data collected from five (5) case studies and interview sessions of selected project professionals which directly involved in the project management of road construction projects in Johor Bahru. Based on the findings, the five (5) significant delay factors identified were ineffective planning / scheduling, client work / order changes / scope or design changes, payment delays / financial issues, poor site management and supervision, and unexpected site conditions. Hence, the five (5) risks of the significant delay factors identified were ineffective planning / scheduling, client workflow / change of arrangement / scope or design change, poor management and supervision sites, payment delays / financial issues and errors and discrepancies in the design documents. In addition, five (5) measures to mitigate the impact of risk for significant delay factors are also recommended such as effective planning and site management / supervision, Customers and Contractors involved in stage design, cost control, effective Risk Reduction Plan and management of unexpected site conditions in managing road construction projects in Johor Bahru, Johor. 2020 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/87104/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/87104/1/SitiNoorzarinaMusaMSKA2020.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:134187 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering
