Abstract

Delays with project completion and turnover is a global problem affecting construction and industry partners in many areas. These delays impact both planning and budgeting which are serious concerns for all stakeholders involved and difficult to resolve and overcome. The focus of this research paper is limited to only Military vertical construction projects executed by the Fort Worth District and specifically, the analysis of their associated construction durations. Construction performance data from the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) SWF Primavera Project (P2) database was utilized in this study. The raw dataset covered the period of 2003 to 2021 and included a total of 4,435 projects. This dataset was reduced down to focus only on the 173 Military vertical construction projects executed by the USACE Fort Worth District and completed between the years of 2006 and 2020. The results of this research provide the USACE Project Delivery Team a better understanding of lessons learned and utilization of a more accurate method for establishing construction project durations for USACE projects.
