Abstract

Today, claims and disputes have a great impact on reducing the efficiency of construction industry projects. Because each of project delivery system has unique relationships among stakeholders and the responsibilities of them are also formed by these relationships, claims and disputes, causes of claims and disputes, and solutions to prevent of them are also different in each of PDSs. In this research, with the aim of achieving solutions to prevent claims in design-build projects, we first identified 71 of the most important causes of claims and then classified them based on the relationships between stakeholders. After that, we separated 11 main claims from 22 reasons for their occurrence and showed the relationship between them. Then, by interviews and content analysis of experts' opinions, we presented solutions to prevent claims separately for each claim and, in conclusion, presented 29 practical solutions in order to application time in the project as a practical guideline.
