| Abstract |
During the last few years, construction claims have been increased for protecting the rights of construction participants and acclaiming their privileges. Several countries have continually developed a wide variety of methods and systems for forecasting and preventing construction disputes, while such efforts are rarely conducted in domestic construction industry. Generally, some claim issues involved in construction activities are often being developed into disputes and even litigations because of the absence of such methods and systems and the lack of judicial precedents for the similar cases. The judicial precedents caused by disputes or litigations among construction participants would be extremely valuable in evaluating and analyzing current claims occurred in a particular project. However, such useful information has not been effectively accumulated and utilized in resolving the similar or sometimes identical types of disputes, thus requiring a large amount of additional costs, time and efforts. The primary objective of this study is to propose a model for the development and implementation of a web-based system, which enables contractual participants to easily access and use the information of the judicial precedents related to construction delay claims. |
