This research was carried out through both primary and secondary sources. Triangulation approach has been utilized, in which quantitative method is used to collect data whereas qualitative method is essential to be used for data validation. Based on the data collected, a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) model has been form, showing the relationship of structural delay, institutional delay and cultural delay in relation to housing delivery. From the study conducted, it is found that institutional delay is the major contributor to housing delay in Malaysia. Through the data validation of housing delay index, the study concluded that the Malaysian housing industry is currently experiencing moderate delay.
