The Jordanian construction industry plays an important role in economic production. However, the Jordanian construction industry suffers from delays, which results in time, cost, and quality, in addition to additional efforts. Researchers have identified the main factors of delay, including weather conditions, poor design, poor planning and scheduling, lack of experience, change orders, etc. To reduce the phenomenon of delay, there is a need to change the traditional construction approach to adopt modern construction methods. This research seeks using supply chain management in construction as a powerful tool to reduce construction delays problems. The research consists of two main parts; the first section identifies the main delay factors in Jordanian road construction projects, and the second section outlines a framework using useful SCM tools to reduce the traditional scenario to overcome the apparent delay in the road project in Jordan. Obtaining information using a qualitative method through semi-structured interviews, indicating the desired result to reduce the apparent delay in infrastructure projects in Jordan
