The construction industry is considered one of the largest industries in the world and in Syria, and one of the fastest growing, most costly and most complex industries due to the multiplicity of parties involved in it, its abundance, the different specializations, and the divergence and multiplicity of the objectives of its participants. Engineering projects are characterized by a special and unique nature, which includes their large time span, high cost, and the large number of contract clauses. In addition to the change in the requirements of the owner during the implementation phase and his request for additional works, as well as errors in the preliminary study submitted or its lack, in addition to the fact that it is an industry that takes place on the work site and not in factories, which results in its being affected by the site conditions and climatic conditions. The previous factors and others lead to the emergence of claims between the parties involved in the contract in order to maintain the profitability of the project and compensate for the damage caused. This research defines the contractor's claims accurately and presents their causes, types and classifications. This study presents a simplified model for managing contractor claims in construction projects in general. In particular, it focuses and elaborates on two of the main points in claims management, namely: The first point: the method of submitting claims within the binding time limits, accompanied by the necessary documents that prove the occurrence of the incident, the subject of the claim, and the contractual bases on which the claim is based. The second point: the financial and temporal analysis of the claims, detailing the analysis methodology to be adopted, explaining the analysis methods, and how to choose the appropriate method according to the nature of the project, documents, time programs, and available reports. It also presents a questionnaire study of a random sample of workers in the construction industry in Syria to indicate the extent of their knowledge of claims and their awareness of their causes, types and sources of origin. This research presented an integrated model for a contractor submitting two claims, one of which is temporal and financial, and the other is temporal only, to the owner through supervision, for a private sector project in Syria. The procedures followed in submitting were monitored and then the method of dealing with these claims was evaluated, pointing out the defects, errors and weaknesses in the contractor's handling of claims, and suggesting the best method for submitting claims later and in accordance with theoretical references. This study presented a number of recommendations that, if adopted and adopted, help to overcome the difficulties and obstacles that impede the correct application and make the best use of claims in projects. Recommendations are made to legislators to amend the laws governing contracts in Syria to keep pace with the development taking place in the world in the event that they are adopted, which will reflect positively on the construction industry in terms of quality, cost and time, and on the demand of qualified contractors to apply for public sector tenders.

this study a questionnaire was implemented as a primary procedure for any methodology of risk management, and send out to the experts who work in the field of construction, in order to evaluate the reality of our projects as well as determine the serious problems, and all of this aim to form checklists including the major risks which the our projects are facing to be as a guide for early risks alert, to adopt the proper responses to deal with them.
Because of the increasing need to improve quality in construction projects, it is necessary to reduce and prevent reworks, and that is by understanding their roots and recognizing their causes. So this research studies reworking on local projects (Sy rian buildings) in terms of causes and classifications. Information was collected from questionnaire that identified some variables (100 variables) contributing to reworking. These variables were categorized according to seven main headings: human, coordination and communication, technical and engineering, owner, project management, contract, and design. Responses were further condensed using factor analysis to group the variables into basic factors. This study revealed that the sources of reworks included inexperienced personnel, projects executions after a long time of studying, a short period given by owner, poor total project management, inadequate study for project before bidding, and separation between design and executing. Finally, this research recommended that a total commitment to quality management policy applications would lead to a reduction in reworks on Syrian construction projects.
Construction projects are characterized as very complex projects. This is because of their uniqueness, dynamic political and economic circumstances, weather, long life of projects, fluctuations in resources prices, and changes of engineering require ment, etc. Therefore, construction projects are subject to a wide range of various risks, which in case these risks occur will have considerable impacts on projects objectives in terms of time, cost and quality. Therefore, there is a need to investigate these risks and their impacts on project objectives and parties. The Client is one of the most important party in any project, and it usually lacks to have a clear strategy and policy to deal and manage risks that affect its objectives. This study aims to produce a strategy to deal and manage risks during construction stage from the client's point of view. The construction stage is selected because it takes a long time of the project life and consumes the largest amount of project budget, and it highly affects the project success or failure. Data were collected, by utilizing both questionnaire and interview survey, from more than one hundred participants from construction companies, clients and other construction professionals. An SPSS17 and EXCEL software were used to treat the data to find correlation between different variables, means and standard deviations. Risks were ranked based on risk importance indicator. The results showed that the most important risk is 'delay of payment to contractors as agreed in the contract' and the lowest risk is 'changes of design during construction'. The study concluded that the client should be concerned to formulate a specialized team in risk management in order to assist him in decision making process and developing practical solutions for dealing with risks in the construction sector. Keywords: risk , risk management , Client , Construction projects .
Construction projects are subject to risks and uncertainties which affect project targets (cost, time, quality and safety). This paper reviews risks and their effects on construction projects in Syria, and it aims to develop risk management framew ork. In this work, risks in construction projects have been defined based on the literature review and interviews of some experts in the construction field. A questionnaire was designed to define the probability of risk occurrence and their effects, also to define the level of their effects by multiplying the probability occurrence with the effects. Another questionnaire was designed to define the extent of the effects of the most important risks on each target of the project, and to specify the procedures applied as a response to the risks. The results of this research revealed that "the Inflation, price changes" and "the difference between contracted quantities and actual quantities " are seen as the most important risk, where the studied risks in this work affect the schedule more than any other project targets. Also the results showed that avoiding the risks at the construction stage is the most used action.
Changes in construction projects are considered as prevalent phenomenon. Where, most of projects face changes in drawings, specifications, work scope, or contractual conditions. The traditional construction followed in Syrian projects has a long t ime span between planning, design, and construction. As result the possibility of changes occurrence in any project becomes considerable. There are many causes of change orders in construction industry. These changes, mostly causes time and cost overrun and managerial complications. The objective of this study is determining the main causes of change orders; arranging them according to their significance; and studying their effects on project’s cost and time. The owner or the engineer supervising the project is the party who is responsible for change orders in the project.
