Analysis of Construction Disputes in South Sulawesi: Contractor Companies Perspective

South Sulawesi is one of Indonesia's provinces with great potential in the construction sector. However, South Sulawesi faces various challenges in the construction sector, including construction disputes. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause construction disputes between small, medium, and large construction companies in South Sulawesi. Data were collected using questionnaires to project stakeholders and previous research. The method used was Structural Equation Modeling with a Partial Least Squares system. Seven factors cause disputes in construction projects, namely the problem of completeness of working drawings, changes in plan drawings, administration of approval of drawing changes, legal factors, weather change time factors, non-achievement of planned building quality, and increases in material prices and wages. The influential factors are time 67.8%, administration 53.8%, cost 48.0%, quality 45.2%, human resources 44.4%, technical 39.8%, and legal 39.2%. Thus, the time factor is the most influential in construction disputes in South Sulawesi.
