Abstract
Reducing time and cost involved in the preparation and
settlement of claims has become a matter of concern to
parties involved in the construction industry. This paper
examines some of the common issues in construction
litigation which suggests that considerable problems exists
with regards to the preparation of claims and suggests that a
possible way of reducing the effort required is to apply
Information Technology (IT) tools to the process. Integrating
these tools is necessary in order to utilise the information
generated by the various generic systems applied lo specific
construction management functions. This paper proposes an
integrated computer-based model, discusses the implications
of implementing the model and outlines a prototype under
development for assisting claims management.
