Pages 269-273 | Published online: 08 May 2007
 

Delay in contract progress payment, lack of construction quality, errors and delay in shop drawings and/or approval of sample materials were ranked highest as interface problems, whilst legal disputes, scheduling conflicts amongst sub‐contractors, geological problems and weather conditions were ranked lowest.

Les retards de paiement au prorata de l'avancement des travaux, le manque de qualité dans la construction, les erreurs et retards dans les plans de fabrication et/ou l'approbation des matériaux échantillons étaient considérés comme étant les problèmes d'interface les plus importants, alors que les litiges et les conflicts de programmation au niveau des sous‐traitants, les problèmes géologiques et les conditions météorologique étaient en dernière position.
