Nowadays, the subject of delays is considered one of the most challenging problems for construction projects, particularly in Egypt. Delays occurrence normally leads to an increase in the project’s time and so its cost. Analyzing the factors of construction project delays in Egypt is a matter of crucial importance; thus, the reason why a systematic processing framework is developed. Considered as one of the main elements for this framework, a survey questionnaire was conducted among the key parties in the Egyptian construction industry. The aim is to assess the relevance and impact of the various delay causes on construction projects, to identify the responsible party as well as to evaluate the effect of using the Building Information Modeling (BIM) on delays. Thus, this paper promotes the use of a systematic processing framework to outline a course for examining delay factors of construction projects in Egypt while validating the outcomes through a survey questionnaire. This leads to prioritize delay causes and hence to identify the most suitable approach for dealing with construction projects’ delays and their associated cost impact. Also, it is worth mentioning that this framework is of major use to construction projects with similarity nature such as residential buildings, hotels, etc. This study opens the doors for further development of parametric models which will help in effectively treating this subject.

如今，延误问题被认为是建筑项目中最具挑战性的问题之一，尤其是在埃及。延误的发生通常会导致项目时间和成本的增加。分析埃及建设项目延误的因素至关重要；因此，开发了系统处理框架的原因。作为该框架的主要元素之一，在埃及建筑业的主要参与方之间进行了调查问卷。目的是评估各种延误原因对建设项目的相关性和影响，确定责任方以及评估使用建筑信息模型 (BIM) 对延误的影响。因此，本文提倡使用系统处理框架来概述检查埃及建设项目延迟因素的过程，同时通过调查问卷验证结果。这导致优先考虑延误原因，从而确定最合适的方法来处理建设项目的延误及其相关的成本影响。此外，值得一提的是，该框架对于具有相似性的建筑项目（如住宅建筑、酒店等）非常有用。本研究为参数模型的进一步开发打开了大门，这将有助于有效地处理这一问题。这导致优先考虑延误原因，从而确定最合适的方法来处理建设项目的延误及其相关的成本影响。此外，值得一提的是，该框架对于具有相似性的建筑项目（如住宅建筑、酒店等）非常有用。本研究为参数模型的进一步开发打开了大门，这将有助于有效地处理这一问题。这导致优先考虑延误原因，从而确定最合适的方法来处理建设项目的延误及其相关的成本影响。此外，值得一提的是，该框架对于具有相似性的建筑项目（如住宅建筑、酒店等）非常有用。本研究为参数模型的进一步开发打开了大门，这将有助于有效地处理这一问题。
