Stakeholder’s Influence on Design-Construction Planning
Abstract: The design phase requires several interactions between the client and the architect as compared to other phases. Major decisions on the project were finalized during this design phase with the inadequate involvement of the forthcoming stakeholders—fabricators, contractors and vendors. Further, fragmentation in design and construction phase had led to redesign and rework during the construction execution. Additionally, this fragmentation had design solutions that had not involved constructability issues, which resulted …

Liquidated Damages: The Perception of The Construction Industry
Abstract: There are several misconceptions about the term “liquidated damages” (LD) as many believe it is a penalty levied for delay or breach of contract. However, in a key judgement in a court it was presumed that LD is a sum payable upon breach and must be a genuine pre-estimate of the loss the innocent party would suffer in respect of the breach. If the intention of the LD is to …
