Description
Summary:This paper presents a proposed research methodology to be adopted in on-going PhD research which aims to investigate the rationale behind the unsuccessful Extension of Time (EOT) claims in the Malaysian construction industry. At the end of the research, a framework for quality EOT claims will be produced. To achieve the aims and objectives of this research, both quantitative and qualitative methods will be applied. A quantitative research method in the form of a questionnaire survey will be conducted to investigate reasons for unsuccessful EOT claims from both the contractor's and architect's point of view. The next stage of data collection will involve in-depth qualitative investigation using face-to-face interviews meant to get in-depth information from the respondents about their experience and regarding the rationale behind unsuccessful EOT claims. To complete the triangulation approach, expert group validation will be conducted to validate the findings from the research (through quantitative and qualitative methods) and also the expert group's acceptance of the framework produced. This paper specifically explores and describes the research methodology proposed in undertaking the research. Review of prior research, books and publications will be conducted in determining the most effective research methodology in executing this research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
