Disputes routinely arise in construction projects, and they have major cost and schedule impacts. Therefore, they need to be either prevented effectively by proper contract and payment execution or resolved efficiently with enhanced resolution processes regarding cost, duration, effort, and transparency. However, current practices are inadequate for both effectiveness and efficiency since they mainly depend on centralized authority. This paper is designed in two folds; first, a generic blockchain-based online dispute resolution platform is tested with two litigation cases collected in 1999 and 2009 to show the need for a construction-focused system. Then, a new construction-specific framework, Decentralized Construction Enabling Transparent Resolution (DCENTR), is proposed to address the unique nature of construction projects. Ultimately, it is shown that dispute likelihood can be minimized through reliable contract and payment execution, and if occurred, construction disputes can be resolved with higher transparency and dramatic savings in effort, time, and cost.

A Hybrid genetic algorithm for multi mode resource constrained scheduling problem for large size projects
Gürel, Mustafa; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Just like in all industries, some of the available resources, in order to finish a project on time, are constrained in construction industry. To be able to finish the project on time has high importance both for the contractor and for the owner. Project scheduling in which resources are limited for a particular time are called as resource constrained project scheduling problems (RCPSP) and occupies a significant place in construction management. Especially for large scale projects, little success has been a...
A Comparative study on direct analysis method and effective length method in one-story semi-rigid frames
Bektaş, Şinasi; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Many factors such as unforeseeable events, managerial or financial problems of Contractor, insufficient technical capacity of Engineer's site team and so on may lead to delays in construction projects. Proper analysis of compensability and quantum of a delay event is very important. Any delay analysis application can be considered as a result of the combination of contract documents, scheduler, record keeping mechanism at site, communication among project participants, delay analyst and delay analysis metho...
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...
Development of an IT-based tool for portfolio assessment and management for construction companies
Bilgin, Gözde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Özorhon Orakçal, Beliz; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Development in the construction industry has leaded most of the construction companies to undertake more complex projects than before, which are generally executed concurrently. Therefore, project management routines of the companies may not support effective management of multi-projects. Project portfolio management approach has been suggested to meet requirements for coordinating multi-projects to meet strategic objectives under limited resources. Since project portfolio management requires a comprehensiv...
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...
