| Abstract |
If project time extension were required in the construction projects, either liquidated damages or extension costs should beapplied according to causation of the schedule delays. However, in actual cases it is not applied so far according to the contractconditions. The reason why this situation happened is that function of the present planning and scheduling is not workingfeasibly. The CPM schedule could not provide a proper solution for apportioning responsibility for the schedule delays. Thissituation could be considered as breach of contract and will cause potential disputes for schedule delay. Therefore, in thisresearch process based contract administration model for construction delay claim is proposed to prevent schedule delay andsolve the claims. The model is based on pro-active management for causation of delay to provide apportionment ofresponsibility and written evidences. |
