Ponderación de factores que influyen en los retrasos de los proyectos viales en Colombia: Caso de estudio Villavicencio

Abstract

Delays in construction projects are very common in Colombia, according to El Espectador. "A Fedesarrollo study indicates that $ 20 billion should be invested annually to reduce backwardness; it ensures that more than 87% of the countries have better development indicators than Colombia; …Colombia is one of the most backward countries in Latin America in terms of transport infrastructure, according to the report presented by Fedesarrollo in the framework of the ninth version of the National Infrastructure Congress." For this reason, it is necessary to study and analyze the causes of these delays in road construction in Colombia. In this paper we will study some of these causes based on some theories that are found on this topic, taking as references studies in Colombia like "The physical infrastructure in Colombia: deficiencies and main challenges" as in other countries like Egypt as "Exploring delay causes of road construction projects in Egypt "to have points of comparison and to generate the weighting of factors that generate delays. A weighting will be carried out with the help of surveys, it will be applied to contractors, consultants and resident engineers so that based on their experience and criteria they can contribute and classify the causes that will be shown in the survey. Finally, this document will invent that future projects minimize the frequency of factors improving delivery times in road projects in Colombia.
