The Research Of Cost Claims By The Contractor Of Applications In Construction Delays

Construction contract gives the injured person the right to claim. With the international of construction market development, the project claim as a key work to project contract management has been sufficient attention by contractor. Currently, the research shows that the majority of construction projects can not be completed in a given contract period. Engineering delays phenomena are very common. Construction delays are often caused economic losses to the contract parties, In particular, the contractor’s workers to suspend work, equipment and material backlog of unused losses and so on. To protect themselves, protect their legitimate rights and interests and to avoid loss, delay cost effective claim to the contractor is extremely important.Meanwhile, the management of claim and its methods will improve the project management, rules contract management and pushes the sustainable development of projects.This paper focuses on the time of the delay cost claims, two key issues " whether to proposed the cost of claims,""reasonable amount of costs claimed," start. It described the causes of claims and claims operations processes about contractor claims for delay costs. It described the evidence and the establishment of the basic conditions delay cost of the claim. And it gives the analysis of the contents of the claim calculation, calculation methods. Finally, with specific cases and engineering practices, proposed to deal with the basic principles and methods, in order to provide some Help for the work of the contractor claims for delay costs.
