This research employed descriptive analysis, and the result was calculated using the average index method. Overall the result shows the respondent has a high level of agreement on the factor of causing delay, the implication of project delay, and strategies to mitigate project delay. However, the finding revealed that late payment or underpayment by the client, difficulty delivering construction material to the construction site, and high cost of material due to additional delivery costs to rural site construction is the most factor causing construction delay. This may cause time overrun and cost overrun. It also causes a bad reputation for the contractor. Therefore, the research result can be used for the factor of construction delay and the implication. 2021 Student Project NonPeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/66555/1/66555.pdf Factors of construction delay at rural area in Sarawak / Ahmad Alif Rahimi Zamzuriarepen.
