The construction industry hasa significant role in the nation’s economy, it serves valuable functions in the society that are vary according to social needs.Expert system is an intelligent computer program that uses knowledge andinference procedures to solve different types of problems 111 many applications like Agriculture, Chemistry, Computer Systems, Electronics, Engineering, Geology, Information Management, Law, Manufacturing, Mathematics, Medicine, Meteorology, Military Science, Physics, Process Control, Space Technology and Construction Management.In other words it is a computer system that emulate the decision making ability of a human ex pert.[ 55 ]Matthew et al (2001) focuses on future research and the use of project management software in the construction industry. Data are drawn from empirical study of project management professionals [44].Govindan et al (2000) review and developed data base for planning and estimation process and confirm that simulation required a continuous form of data collections to support itsmodeling process [38 J.Delay occurs in construction project, if the contractor Iai Is to finish andcomplete the project in its pre-determined duration according to the contractual agreementwith the owner. There are many types of delay according to the responsibilities of the three parties (contractor, consultant and owner), according to liability (compensable,. excusable,non excusable & concurrent delays).
