- Abstract:
As known the design stage in the project life cycle requires good management, continuous improvement, and new technologies and resources. In Libya most of the local and international bureaus have failed to meet its obligation and satisfy their clients needs . The aim of this paper is to identify the critical factors and variables that influence the delay and investigate it's effect on cost - overrun in construction projects during the design stage, noting that these factors might be caused by the consultant bureaus or clients or third parties. The initial results of this research suggests that the majority of delay factors comes from the owners, in which the administrative procedures, legal requirement, financial tightness are the main concern and they play the major role in cost-overrun.
