Construction equipment improvement is a trend in the market, and it has several advantages. Inappropriate construction equipment, on the other hand, creates delays in construction projects, harming the firm's reputation. A lot of studies on overall delay have been undertaken around the world. NonethelessHowever, there is a scarcity of studies on construction delays induced by inefficient construction equipment. The purpose of this article is to look into the reasons that cause construction equipment delays and how they affect the firm's reputation. The issues identified in the focus group interviews and the literature survey were used to create a report. To determine the impact of these factors on the progress of Indian building projects, a questionnaire survey was undertaken. The main constraint was that all 300 replies had to be gathered in person from building professionals in order to avoid skewed results. The positive strength of each factor's link was determined using Pearson correlation coefficients. To check if there was a significant difference between the respondents' firm categories, a t-test was utilized. The effective association between the causes of delays due to improper construction equipment and the effects on the company's reputation was validated using structural equation modeling (SEM). The improper construction equipment elements are associated among themselves and combined to influence the company's reputation, according to all of the components investigated by the SEM analysis. To overcome the ineffective equipment delay issues, recommendations are offered.
