| dc.description.abstract | The complexity of the construction industry due to different stakeholders’ involvement makes it differ from other industry. This complexity gives rise mostly to unwanted situation like Delay and time Extension with their attached effects. The aim of every construction project is to meet the objectives of time, cost and quality. If the project is not completed on its time, and/or on its budget cost and/or on specified quality unsatisfactorily, claim or dispute may raise between stakeholders.Delay claims are extremely complex and difficult to resolve, for this reason projects requires an effective and reliable method to minimize the cause and effect of construction delay.That is why this research is focused on assessment of delay and time extension analysis techniques and trend with selected consulting firms in Addis Ababa. To achieve the study objectives, a critical review of relevant literature was done coupled with questionnaire. Case studies also carried out to show the gap between delay and time extension analysis techniques recommended in literatures and trends with selected consulting firms. The research surveyedSix (6) samples Grade one consulting firms around Addis Ababa to assess the techniques that how time extension delay analysis are prepared and evaluatedcompared with literature and as per the standards stipulated in contract provisions. The findings of this research indicate that, the consultants surveyed and the contractors worked with themhavelack of experience in preparing and evaluating time extension delay analysis in acceptable, procedural and scientific ways as per the standards stipulated in contract provisions. Some concepts which are familiar in developed countries, like Time at large and No damage for delay provision are not familiar in Ethiopian construction industry. Concurrent delays are not also exercised in most of the consulting firms. According to the research (34.78%) of the clients agree projects are completed with 200-300% time extension of the original contract time. Thus, Project delays are the major cause of claims of time extension and associated cost overrun. Finally, this thesis addressed the need of standard guide manuals how time extension claim to be prepared and settled in accepted and consistent ways in all construction and consulting firms in Addis Ababa, and forward recommendations on how to improve the existing prevailing situations.
