The Quantity Surveyor adopts the Information Technology to assist the Construction Delay Claims [A Case Study – Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) visualization of construction of Club House]

Abstract

The world phenomena is that most of construction project will encounter some form of delay which cause various and complexity of reasons during the process. Generally, the delay are entitled to claim an additional money as compensation but the burden of proof lies with the party making the assertion; thus, Quantity Surveyor as one of technical experts are often employed to undertake and face the challenge on fair judgment. The aim of this paper identifies the current practices of claim evaluation and difficulties on decisions and how that Information Technological developments can assist by way of computer generated visualization which is Building Information Modelling (BIM) to support delay claim on fair decision. The methodology includes for literature review on claim evaluation methods that are in current practice and their shortfalls. Accordingly, computer module would be generated based on Model Houseas a Case Study to show that how the Information Technology would contribute to identify the delay events which would be easy to ascertain the compensation and fair decision by the Quantity Surveyor.
