Abstract

Public construction projects have a significant impact on the local residents' economy and social lives due to their large scale and construction costs. If residents suffer losses and damages from public construction projects, it can lead to complaints, which can negatively affect to the projects, such as cost overrun and schedule delay. Therefore, the managerial efforts should be made to minimize these complaints. The purpose of this study is to analyze the complaints associated with construction projects based on their characteristics and assess the impact of complaints on the projects, aiming to minimize the complaints arising from construction projects. This study is conducted in three steps: 1) extracting the complaints' information from the existing construction projects, 2) analyzing the complaints based on projects characteristics using post-evaluation data, and 3) analyzing how the complaints are actually handled. Through this study, it is possible to understand the characteristics of complaints in actual public construction projects in Korea.
