It can be defined as an approach mainly used to stabilize the economic, social, and environmental aspects (Rosen, 2012). People must focus on achieving sustainability during operations to generate favorable results. In this regard, the effectiveness of engineering sustainability in deriving positive results for construction projects worldwide cannot be ignored. Selection of resources, the introduction of sustainable practices, efficient use of resources, and environmental stewardship are critical requirements for developing and maintaining engineering sustainability. Therefore, this research paper intends to investigate the critical quality issues that affect construction projects' sustainability, specifically in Oman and other regional countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), namely Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.

The construction industry has an enormous contribution to the economy primarily for the developed nations experiencing urgent demands to develop and expand their infrastructure. While this expansion is taking place through projects, it is essential to find the factors affecting completion of project premium. This paper investigates the main time delay and cost overrun causes in construction projects within Oman related to clients, contractors, and consultants. Through a comprehensive literature review, reasons for delays and cost overrun are determined and a survey targeting 100 project managers was conducted to indicate top causes among them. The findings may help the government develop better policy and construction firms to modify criteria procedures to avoid such drawbacks.
