Webinar - Claims Avoidance by Using Lessons Learned from Disputes

Disputes and claims are as prevalent as ever in construction projects, and studies show that poor contract administration is the top reason. Arcadis has a group called “Contract Solutions” which connects the dots between poor administration and the resulting claims in order to correct practices that tend to be the sources of disputes. This is the ideal claims avoidance position; using the experience gleaned from forensic analysis and dispute resolution to change the weak construction management practices.

This session will also help attendees identify claims resolution methods before project completion on a troubled project. The practice of leaving claims to end of the project is no longer preferred due to high legal costs and prolonged project cost for staffing. This session will help the attendees identify those practices or lack of practices that are shown, case after case, to contribute to disputes, and provide direction in modifying construction management practices to eliminate the problem practices.
