| Summary: | The construction industry has been a significant contributor to Malaysia's economy.
Although it represents a small portion of Malaysia's economy, it serves as a catalyst for
boosting other sectors. The Final Account is a detailed summary of accounts that is
prepared at the end of the construction period. Delays in Final Account can have a
negative impact on both the time and financial aspects for contractors. Surprisingly, there
has been no research conducted on the delay of Final Account in Kuching, Sarawak.
Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors causing delays in the completion of Final
Account in construction projects in Kuching, Sarawak. The objectives of this study are to
investigate the importance of completing the final account, identify the factors causing
delays in the completion of the final account among contractors, and evaluate the factors
causing delays in the completion of the final account among consultants. A total of 94
respondents were selected to answer questionnaire surveys, and 2 interviewees were
recruited for interviews using purposive sampling. The Final Account holds significant
importance in Kuching's construction industry, particularly in determining the project's
performance in terms of cost, time, and quality. From the contractor's perspective, client�related factors were found to be the most significant causes of delays in the Final Account,
mainly due to financial problems. On the other hand, contractor-related factors were
identified as the most significant causes of delays in the Final Account from the
consultant's perspective. Both the contractors and consultants agreed that contractual
factors were the least significant causes of delays in the Final Account, as the standard
form of contract used in Kuching, Sarawak, is comprehensive and straightforward. |
