Description
Summary:A Microsoft Access database management system is presented. This was developed to document and analyse claims for additional payment and time for completion on construction projects. Although the database was developed to facilitate the determination of the bases, causes and underlying management issues behind construction claims in Kuwait, the system has wide applicability and its unified methodology would be appropriate for monitoring construction claims on live projects. The database was tested on field data from eight completed construction projects.
