Construction Dispute Model for Condominium Projects

Abstract

This research aims to develop construction dispute model for condominium projects in Bangkok. Questionnaires were used to collect data (258 samples) from project directors, project managers, engineers and supervisors. The data were analyzed by Second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2^nd Order CFA). The 2^nd Order CFA results showed that the model moderately-good fitted the empirical data (χ²/df = 2.025, RMSEA = 0.063, SRMR = 0.069, CFI = 0.867, TLI = 0.853 and AGFI = 0.814). The most important factor was project characteristics. This factor consisted of four variables ranging from most to least important, namely construction methods, work load, unforeseen and project design. The results could be used as guidelines to reduce construction disputes in the future projects
