Most of the construction projects in Telangana are exposed to time and cost overruns. This phenomenon may affect the progress of the construction industry in Telangana, as well as cause many organizations of construction to be destroyed. This study focuses on the identification and evaluation of factors affecting the time and cost overruns, in the Telangana construction projects. i.e., in the Construction of Irrigation Projects. To achieve the said objectives of the study, first questionnaire surveys were conducted and later factor analysis of time and cost overruns were carried out. About ten Projects were visited, and data collected within a span of twenty-two months. The time and cost overruns factors in Construction of Irrigation Projects in Telangana works are divided into four major categories viz., manpower related, machinery related, equipment related and financial related. These factors were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to carry out Factor Analysis. Factor analysis is a statistical technique used to reduce a large number of variables into a smaller set of factors. These factors are underlying constructs or latent variables that explain the correlations among the observed variables. Factor Analysis delivered by two different approaches, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) Data-driven, explores underlying structure, with no prior hypotheses, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) Theory-driven, tests a pre-specified model, requires prior knowledge. EFA and CFA are complementary techniques used to understand the underlying structure of a set of variables. CFA can refine the factor structure suggested by EFA. The combined results can lead to the development of reliable and valid measurement scales.
