The author of the article touches one of the basic problems arising at construction sites – delays occurred during the execution of works. The topic is not new, but the study focuses primarily on the cumulative effects of the selected factors generating delays. The analysis was carried developed literature, consultation with the managers on construction sites and drawn conclusions.

Keywords: delays, construction, cause, effect, factor.
