questionnaires, after a rich literature survey, were distributed among the
industry experts and the obtained results were analyzed and then ranked in

are shortage of unskilled labor, payment delay, less salary, insufficient
modern tools, delay in delivery of material at site, material shortage and
quality, labor absenteeism, equipment breakdown, experience of contractor and
construction technology. At the end of the study, it is recommended that a
