This study aimed to identify, prioritize, and recommend preventive measures for the key factors contributing to delays in the Phra Khanong Fire Station and Rescue Building construction project in Bangkok. Using the Delphi technique, a questionnaire was developed and refined through expert input. Data were collected from 60 individuals involved in the project and analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviations, and risk levels. Results showed that the most significant uncontrollable delay factor was a conflict between the contract design and the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), with a risk level of 14.63. A suggested solution is a thorough review of design and BOQ documents before the bidding process. The most critical partially controllable factor was the contractor’s lack of liquidity and cash flow (risk level 14.30), indicating the need for careful financial planning and understanding of contract terms. For controllable factors, insufficient personnel were the leading cause of delay (risk level 14.31). Recommended measures include hiring staff appropriate to the project's size and scope, proper allocation of work, and ensuring inspections are conducted by qualified individuals. These findings can help stakeholders improve planning and risk management in future construction projects to mitigate delays.
