Abstract

In the process of construction, project schedule delay often occurs due to various reasons. So it’s especially important for contractors to make reasonable use of claims to compensate for project loss and improve economic performance. Base on that, the paper stood in the perspective of the contractors, dividing the responsibility of the two parties in the claims caused by extension of time, further identified factors that induced extension of time and determined the key factors by SPSS. Then the paper analyzed the calculation methods of claim for extension of time and cost in terms of the key factors, finally confirmed the specific claim content and calculation for contractors once extension of time appeared.
