| Abstract | Executing a scope of project works within the right time is clearly one of the key components of project success but it is not easy to achieve in construction industry. In deed, many construction projects have to face with delay problems in which the causes come from many different sources. More importantly, delays are almost always accompanied with cost and time oven-uns. Construction project delays often results in adverse relationships between construction stakeholders (client, contractor, consultant etc.), distrust, litigation, arbitration, cash-flow problems, and a general feeling of apprehension towards each other. Due to inherent risk and complexity of modern construction project, delays and delay claims have become common facts in construction industry. While delays are life of construction projects, delay claims tend to be some of the least understood and frequently confusing claims in the construction field. Therefore, a clear understanding of the basic elements necessary to prove delay claims is invaluable in the processing of complex construction claims. The main purpose of this report is to identify the major causes of delays and types of claims in construction projects. The qualitative method of risk management theory is used to analyze and rank delay factors and their impact in construction progress. Besides, claims analysis framework and construction claims resolution process is also developed for claims management. |
