Abstract

The advent of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly affected the delivery of construction projects globally. Sadly, the variants of COVID-19 present a proposition that the virus may not be easily overcome anytime soon. However, continual delivery of construction projects is indispensable, especially in developing nations for smooth running of the economy. Therefore, it becomes important to understand the effects of the COVID-19 on construction projects delivery and categorise them into manageable size for proffering practical solutions while meeting the needs of clients and ensuring safety of workers simultaneously. Through firm-based survey, 139 copies of questionnaire retrieved were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the results of the factor analysis conducted, the effects of COVID-19 were grouped into workforce-related, cost-related, and project-related. Investing in automated construction equipment and devices was recommended for construction organisations in developing countries. Besides, mindfulness-based intervention programme was advised to combat construction worker's anxiety.
