Perceived sources and causes of construction claims - 1997 - Journal of Construction Procurement 3(3) November 1997, 3-26(23) .

Significantly increasing frequencies and magnitudes of claims have accompanied the growth of construction activities in general. A research project was mooted to study possible ways to minimise the frequencies and magnitudes of construction claims in civil engineering projects in Hong Kong. A survey was carried out to gather and compare the perceptions of construction professionals as to the common sources and causes of claims. Based on the responses, a Claim Focus Indicator (CFI) was developed to identify particular sources of claims. (Taken from the journal abstract) References.
