Abstract

Judging from the past cases, the contractor has frequently suffered losses caused by disapproved requests or reduced payments since it has not known the conditions of the contract or it has filed a claim to the owner without any proper claim system. Therefore, the existing claim process needs to be reformed. In order to reform the claim process, the contractor should consolidate the organizational structure, grant accurate duty assignments to the claims manager, implement regular staff training on how to deal with claims. In addition to this reformation, the contractor needs to improve the management of construction period and process control, and manage related documents thoroughly. Regular meetings are also necessary in claims. This study attempts to prove the effectiveness of the reformed process applied to Project "A", where the owner was responsible for the delayed supply of materials, inaccurate oral instructions, insufficient information on the work, and frequent changes of design. The project was completed in 96 months, which was extended by 34 months from the initial construction period of 62 months. The reformed claim process is expected to be of great help not only to largescale construction works but also to smallscale ones.

과거 사례로 볼 때 건설시공사는 클레임 시스템이 없이 발주자에게 클레임을 제기하여 미 승인 또는 감액 등을 받아 손실을 입는 경우가 종종 발생하고 있어 기존의 클레임 프로세스 개선이 필요하다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 건설시공사는 클레임 프로세스 개선을 위하여 조직구성의 강화, 클레임 담당자에 대한 정확한 업무부여, 담당자에 대한 주기적 클레임 교육실시, 공기관리 및 공정관리 기법 개선과 철저한 문서관리가 필요하다. 또한 정기적인 클레임 회의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 발주자 잘못으로 인한 관급자재 조달의 지연, 구두 작업지시, 작업진행상 필요한 정보지연 및 과다 설계변경 등이 발생한 'A' 프로젝트에 대하여 개선된 프로세스를 적용하여 초기 공사기간 62개월에서 34개월의 공기연장을 받아 96개월에 완공하여 이를 입증하였다. 개선된 클레임 프로세스 시스템이 대규모 건설사업장은 물론 소규모 건설사업장에도 적용하여 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
