description Waterfall Model was implemented to examine the model in Sabah construction. A project management technique based on short feedback cycles, frequent change adaptation, real-time and continuous communication between all project stakeholders, post-project evaluations, and regular plan updates is required (Mohamed & Moselhi, 2019). The Waterfall Model is the oldest and the recognized SDLC model. It is widely used in government projects and in many major companies. The most influential elements in Malaysia include incorrect contractor planning, poor site management, and insufficient contractor experience (Shah, 2016). Financial issues, changes in the design and scope, delays in the owner's decisions and approvals, challenges in acquiring a construction permit, and coordination and communication issues are all major factors for delays to happen (Assaf, et al., 2006). Suitability and relevance of the Waterfall model being used in construction projects in Sabah would be discussed. Focusing on ongoing construction projects in Sabah, the implemented study would benefit in understanding more regarding the Waterfall Model. This study focuses on the implementation of Waterfall Model into the construction industry in Sabah with some discussions about to the project delays factor and any foreseen impact of other factors. The methodology used in this study is qualitative method, by doing secondary research and data collecting from previous studies, and document analysis from Sabah’s construction project documents from Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) Sabah. There are three construction projects that has been analyzed which are the Cadangan Pembinaan Kolam Renang, Balai Bomba dan Kuarters Kimanis and Cadangan Pembinaan Hospital (76 Katil). The elements and application of Waterfall Model used in all three projects were specified and analyzed throughout this research. The limitations of this research are time and also not many open resources available for the application of Waterfall Model especially in construction projects. Further recommendations and suggestions are also specified in the final chapter of this study, to be used for the future study of the same field.
