Meeting the deadline is one of the main indicators of success in a project. Thus, several efforts have been made to identify the causes of deviation from deadlines in civil construction works. However, there is little literature that relates these causes to the size of the works, which led to the following research question: what are the causes of deviations in small works? In this sense, this paper aims to identify the main causes of deadline deviations in Small Construction Projects (SCP). Therefore, the main factors identified for the occurrence of deviations in the Civil Construction Industry (CCI) were surveyed in the literature, culminating in 142 reasons, which were ranked and served as a basis for the field research. Based on the literature, a questionnaire was built, consisting of 31 10-point Likert-type questions about the causes of deviation from schedule, in addition to information about the project and the respondents' performance. The data were submitted to the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) using the SPSS software, allowing the extraction of the factors related to these 31 reasons for deviation from schedule. This analysis was performed for the total sample and for the PPO in particular, which allowed a comparison of whether there are differences between the causes by size of project. The results showed that issues related to the increased cost of materials and equipment affect construction sites in a similar way, regardless of size. They also showed that labor was more influential in larger construction sites than in PPO. Additionally, design issues and client interference (request for specific changes in projects) were more influential in PPO. Thus, we conclude that the factors that lead to the deviation of deadlines are influenced by the size of the project. The causes obtained in this study can help companies and professionals to improve their monitoring by being more assertive in decision making and thus contributing to the reduction of delays in construction. Further research that can correlate the level of schedule deviation with the factors explored here, as well as a stratification of the sample by other aspects of the work, such as, for example, its construction typology, is suggested for future work.
