Abstract

A very limited research of fixing uncertainties in environmental issues (EI) actually encountered biggest problems for company, especially in late delivery (LD) of project completion for construction industry (CI). Uncertainty could be happens causes by many factors which known or unknown, statically to totally ignorance. Many factors of uncertainties have been modelled in previous research by ignored factors in EI. However, in the real cases all the factors must be manage even it is in-deterministic. Therefore, the modelling of uncertainty factors in EI for CI is very important to be studied, and it will be considered to be used as guidance for decision makers while they are facing with the problems that related to uncertainties. The uncertainty of EI can split into 2 categories; acts of God and acts of humans.. Preliminary result of conceptual model for uncertainty factors in EI is presented according to previous case study.
