Abstract
Construction industry has been considered as a competitive, high budgetary and complex trade in present scenario. Most of the projects suffer from inadequacies in project formulation and implementation, resulting in large time and cost overruns. Various analyses have been reported to identify several factors responsible for time and cost overruns—some within and beyond the control of the project. Construction delays are one of the resultant of claims/conflicts or disputes in construction projects leading to huge loss to the project. This paper analyses the pros and cons arising from claims/conflicts and classify the construction claims obtained from interaction with various stake holders of 100 plus projects in Odisha. Grading the root causes of the claims is based mainly on data collected in the form of questionnaires from the inception and closing of the project. The relative significance of the claims categories are also analysed and presented in the present investigation. The ranking of the causes of the claims has been done by finding the relative important index of each cause claim.
