A carefully written contract is invaluable in the prevention of a claim. Important aspects of construction contracts are presented, including scheduling, submission of shop drawings, payment terms, rates for time and material work and notification of delays and extra work. The owner and architect/engineer must be aware that his or her actions should be avoided whenever possible. Causes of valid construction claims include extra work, project delays and acceleration, lack of management, limited site access and change in work schedule. The importance of record keeping is stressed. Detailed records help to establish facts if a dispute later develops. Records that should be kept include minutes of meetings, correspondence, progress reports, status logs and photographs.","PeriodicalId":271903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Construction Division","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123893429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most such efforts have failed because of the limited scope of their objective functions. This study presents field interview results substantiating the hypothesis that decision-making is multiattributed in nature, contrary to the implicit assumption of these other efforts. A theory is introduced which facilitates analysis of complex decisions and selection of consistent courses of action. An illustrative decision problem is solved, not only to explain the mechanics of the theory, but to demonstrate that construction risk is a function of competitive economics as well as project-related characteristics.","PeriodicalId":271903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Construction Division","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122478818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new, graphical method based on triangular systems of coordinates is presented. The triangular system described is usually considered an equilateral triangle. Each of the three sides of the triangle can be used as a coordinate axis for a variable in a suitable scale. Each combination of the three variables has a correspondent point in the triangle. The coordinates of a point inside the triangle represent the magnitude of each of the three variables, and can be read off of the corresponding scales. Two examples illustrate the application of this method. The method is compared with the Simplex method to show advantages and limitations.","PeriodicalId":271903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Construction Division","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121503557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The respondents perceptions of the problems in planning and implementation, their estimated costs and schedules for conversion and their comments and solutions are summarized. No strong opposition to metrication was prevalent. Apprehension about conversion is caused by fear of added cost and difficulties in training labor, increased errors and psychological factors. Many felt however that these problems are short term. The designers and design/construct sectors are the most optimistic in their expectations. Smaller companies have no present plans for conversion while some large companies have significant experience in using the SI system. The majority expect conversion by 1990.","PeriodicalId":271903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Construction Division","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115206182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rulings of the arbitrators establish guidelines regarding the scope and nature of methods improvement programs, acceptable techniques for measuring productivity, use of time standards, civil liberties of the craftsman, disciplinary action, and favorable language in the collective bargaining agreement. It is shown that management has the right to unilaterally undertake time studies and to establish production standards. It is illustrated that the exact wording of the collective bargaining agreement is the key to establishing what measurement techniques are acceptable. Examples of management rights clauses are presented.","PeriodicalId":271903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Construction Division","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130668681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For gathering evidence which is accurate and true in its form, and which can be accomplished at a faster and more economical rate, the writer suggests photographic record be used.
