Construction projects are open to risks due to their multi-partied, environmentally dependent and complex nature. Unexpected situations generally lead to delays resulting considerable time and money losses. This makes delay and delay analysis to be the core subject matter during execution of construction projects. Therefore project participants should not only be focused on project control but also be able to clarify some project specific issues at the planning stage. At this point, past project data may be used to learn from previous projects and to take preventive actions in order to minimize delays. This study presents a relational database established to keep post project information about delays and to use the information for similar type of projects. The database may enable the user to access valuable information such as; most critical activities and parties in a specific kind of project, average cost and duration of the delay for that project, information on claim processes for delays, probable dispute issues, etc. In the literature, there exist some notable studies related to the use of computer support in delay and claim analysis; however easily accessible and manageable nature of the created database constitutes the originality of this study.

An Integrated regression-bootstrap sampling scheduling method for probabilistic duration range estimation of construction projects Barış, Özgür; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The estimation of project duration is important in construction projects, since it directly affects the costs and the success of the projects. Schedule risks can be determined along with the duration estimations in order to assess the possibility of delay penalties and additional costs. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimation of project duration range is very crucial in construction industry to assess the schedule risks. This thesis presents an integrated approach of non-parametric bootstrap sampling meth...
A Fuzzy delay assessment tool for construction projects Ghaziani, Aydin; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, M Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) It is a known fact that construction projects do not often complete on time due to several reasons related with the unexpected changes in the project conditions, external factors or performance of project participants. Since construction projects are unique and limited information is available at the beginning of the projects, prediction of delays is a difficult task. However, if the delays can be assessed at the early stages, their impacts might be minimized, some of the delays can even be eliminated. This...
A knowledge-based risk management tool for construction projects using case-based reasoning Okudan, Ozan; Budayan, Cenk; Dikmen Toker, İrem (2021-07-01) Construction projects are often deemed as complex and high-risk endeavours, mostly because of their vulnerability to external conditions as well as project-related uncertainties. Risk management (RM) is a critical success factor for companies operating in the construction industry. RM is a knowledge-intensive process that requires effective management of risk-related knowledge. Although some research has already been conducted to develop tools to support knowledge-based RM processes, most of these tools ign...
Using natural language processing for automated construction contract review during risk assessment at the bidding stage Eken, Görkem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-12) Construction sector contains various risks, and construction projects are open to failure due to their nature and the involvement of multiple parties. Contracts are legal documents that are used to define the responsibilities of parties in a project. Risks that are taken by a party are highly related to their positions in the contracts. However, contracts are prepared by clients, and contractors generally do not have enough time to review their responsibilities before preparing their bids. Moreover, contrac...
A Multi agent risk analysis and sharing platform for international construction projects Dağkıran, Gülşah; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The risks and complexities that are naturally inherent with construction projects and the diverging interests of the parties involved, cause deviations from the project objectives and make claims an unavoidable consequence in construction projects. Risk management is accepted as one of the critical success factors to handle the claim management process effectively. In construction management literature, while there are several studies to develop a mechanism for risk management, decision making and dispute r...
