AbstractBuilding projects in public sector in Mekong area in Vietnam has been suffered claim impacts heavily. They affect very strong on the social and financial benefit of building projects. In order to increase effect of claim management in building projects, three issues of claims that are causes of claim in terms of delay and/or cost overrun, claim settlement in terms of additional cost and/or extension time and claim attitudes were studied. The study was conducted by case study methodology with data of six building projects in public sector. First finding, the case study explored the most significant problems causing claim in terms of delays and/or cost overrun. Second finding, there were not clear and fair claim analysis procedures that were written in contract condition or any construction decree or construction law.
