The Influence of Weather Conditions on Time, Cost, and Quality in Successful Construction Project Delivery

The effective management of the triple constraints, time, cost, and quality, is imminently essential for the success of construction projects, and it is considered a hot research topic nowadays. For this purpose, we carried out this study to systematically analyze the influence of these constraints on project success, specifically emphasizing how weather conditions intensify the difficulties associated with these constraints. A survey questionnaire was administered to 242 industry experts, and the collected data were evaluated utilizing the software named Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 30.0. Further, we also analyzed the obtained data by employing Cronbach’s alpha, correlation, and regression analyses, which obviously confirmed the effects of these constraints on project success. In addition, the results clearly indicated that weather-related delays increased the durations of projects by 25.7% and caused an average cost increase of 23.8%. Focused attention was required for effective management of these constraints. This study further highlights the need for strategic planning and effective risk management to mitigate weather-related risks. As a result, proficient management of these elements is imminently crucial for ensuring project success in the construction sector. Thus, we concluded that this study will allow construction projects in future endeavors to be carried out with high proficiency and effectiveness.
