Construction Delay and Disruption Claims Assisted Through BIM Technology

Construction projects are frequently subjected to delay and disruption leading to dispute between project participants regarding the entitlement to compensation. Challenges associated with the analysis of delay and disruption and the subsequent preparation of the claim conducted by a forensic analysis expert include the difficult retrieval of scattered, unstructured information and lack of adequate documentation, leading to weak analysis and therefore insufficient proof of causation and entitlement.This paper illustrates the chronological information generation regarding delay and disruption in the construction phase proposing a framework based on Building Information Modelling and structured information integration, to facilitate easy filing and retrieval of relevant documentation for claim preparation.
