Abstract:

Construction disputes can arise from many factors like inadequate planning, changes in prizes, unexpected conditions at work site, differing interpretations of contract language and lack of communication among parties involved in the project; these can affect project performance and ultimately lead to litigation. Although construction projects face enormous uncertainties and the contract is unavoidably incomplete in terms of the inability to incorporate provisions to deal with all the possible contingencies. Joint efforts are needed in such situations to solve the problems that may arise. Any unresolved issue arising here, which may become dispute, is one of the most damaging relationships. Many researchers have studied the reasons for construction claims. Earlier some experts identified three root causes of disputes as 1.Behavioral Problems 2.Contratual Problems 3.Technical Problems due to uncertainty and low experience. The case studies of various disputes is intended to cover broad range of construction with regard to type of project, size of project, type of owner and contract administration policies. Both residential and commercial construction is included because problems in this category may be more economically and emotionally charged.
