Abstract
Several types of disputes are common issues to be dealt with by constructors in respect to clients, material suppliers, designers and working personnel at the site and at the management team level. This way construction project time of completion with desired standard quality parameter get affected. Also, the project cost gets enhanced due to time elapsed during dispute handling and reaching up to a resolution. In turn, the disputes grow dissatisfaction and several grievances in the minds of all the stake holders of the construction project. This manuscript focuses on identification of such disputes, stages of their appearance in few previous construction projects, and reasons associated with them. It also proposes a digital solution towards minimizing disputes and real time information sharing between various stake holders of any construction project
