| Abstract |
As recent construction projects have gradually become larger in size and complex, construction documents such as drawings and specifications revealed the limitations that can not express all the necessary information. Due to the lack of stipulations on the contract, disputes arise among contracting parties. Traditionally, many construction companies in Korea make an unfair agreement with the clients so that the irrational items are included in their contract documents. Potential dispute factors are triggered as a result of misleading or omitted items on the written documents. This paper analyzed the civic counseling cases obtained from the public procurement service in Korea, and identified the potential dispute factors that can occur during pre-dispute stage alone with their influence analysis. The results found from this study can be used for the development of checklists that prevent the dispute in the process of construction projects. |
