Life Cycle Phase

As the intricacy of construction projects is amassed, prospects for tribulations are mounting, depicting negative impact on projects’ cost, time and excellence. Thus, eliciting claims that aredisruptive to projects, time consuming and exorbitant. BIM holds enormousprobable in prosperous claim management practices. The progression of BIM can enrich knowledge sharing for information of a building or facility. It forms a vitalbase for decision making throughout the life cycle phase from the conceptual design to demolition. BIM is also, a valuable multidisciplinary cohesive source of information technology that posts benefits and disputes in the construction industry. The main aspiration of this paper is to appraise how and to what magnitude BIM can help evading and plummeting claims in Jordan construction industry.The paper ran a literature review on recent research, industry reports, and other sources to seehow they identified claims, its classifications, benefits, impacts and challenges of BIM on construction projects.Also, the paper acknowledgedcontemporaneous challenges in the claims field and the construction industry as whole. The attained outcomes have shown that BIM overtakes traditional claim management practices in many aspects including recognizing and investigating claims, where the benefits are comprehended in time and cost savings, less change orders, less rework. Moreover, the information and knowledge management that BIM postulates can improve many aspects of claim management.

The Impact

When carrying out construction contracts both, the employer and the contractor, regularly have to deal with “financing costs”. The financing costs cannot be set as a flat rate, since these can vary from one building contract to another. The pre-financing period can be determined from the conditions of the construction contract. These conditions together with the entrepreneur’s financing interest rate forms the basis for calculating the financing costs of the offer. Deviations to the construction contract can result in construction claims and often lead to extended pre-financing periods, which lead to additional financing costs. With the help of a survey the authors investigate how often the calculated pre-financing period deviates from pre-financing periods with claims. This study has the objective of drawing attention to the issue of additional financing costs due to claims. With the help of a survey the authors investigate, how often the calculated pre-financing period of the offer deviates from the pre-financing period of a service deviation performance variation / a claim. The aim of the questionnaire is to point out the topic of additional financing costs in the event case of performance deviations in the performance of services. The study investigates solely projects under national norms respectively Austrian construction contract standards which favour unit price contract. This paper explains and illustrates the impact of additional financing costs resulting from deviations from the scope of works.

Practical Implications

Purpose – With the increase in the cases of construction claims in Nigeria, many projects have remained uncompleted, while many of those completed receive poor client satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how construction claims are managed. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 58 claim factors were identified and addressed to construction professionals through survey to indicate the extent at which the factors contributed to claims. A case study was conducted to illustrate claim management. Findings – In total, 37 factors were the major source of claims. Late payment, delayed approval of change order and delay cost were the extremely influential while the least were storage charges, loss of productivity, and costs of preparing claims. Evidences revealed that all stakeholders should play active roles to deliver “claim free” projects. Practical implications – The findings will be useful to practitioners in the effort to improve project delivery by providing some guidance on claim minimization. It is hoped that this study will encourage academics to conduct more research on this issue. Originality/value – There is no known conclusive empirical study on construction claim factors in Nigeria. In light of this, the findings offer greater opportunities for claim minimization/avoidance.
