| Abstract | Ineffective contract administration procedures plays a vital role in typical construction problems such as extensive delays in planned schedule, cost overruns, very serious problem in quality, and an increased number of claim and litigation. Due to the different culture in each country, Thai contract administration procedures were investigated from both public and private sectors. This study was conducted by focusing on contract administration procedures during construction phase as payment, requests for information, submittal and approval, inspection, change order, and request for time extension procedures. Data were included contract conditions and clauses from both public and private building construction projects. Specifically, they are all in lump-sum contract. In addition, the supportive information was collected through personal interview. The in-depth experienced consultants were interviewed based on the data provided from the contract conditions in order to get more reliable information. The obtained data were analyzed to identify the contract administration procedures during the construction phase in practice from both public and private sectors by using the frequency distribution statistical analysis. Also, the strengths and weaknesses of each procedure can be determined via personal interview. |
