Abstract :

Resource constraints plays an important role in Indian construction projects. Effective resource management is a prerequisite for project success. This paper aims to identify the factors affecting resource scheduling in Indian construction projects, in the private and public sectors. From an extensive literature survey and based on experts’ opinion, thirty three factors affecting resource scheduling were identified. For the quantitative confirmation of the effectiveness of factors affecting resource scheduling during the construction stage of a project, a questionnaire survey was conducted with construction professionals like clients, consultants and contractors. Subsequently, the collected data was analyzed, using the factor analysis method. The factor analysis was employed to group the factors under the principal factors, which were extracted into seven factors: Lack of equipment and manpower managerial incompetence, financial deficiencies, improper resource allocation, difficulties in special materials, improper construction and personnel management, lack of awareness and lack of mobilization. This paper recommends some critical factors to be considered during the resource scheduling process to minimize the construction time overrun.
