Description
When asked about the most common causes of construction claims, owners and contractors typically provide a lengthy list including changes, delays, differing site conditions, lost labor productivity, etc. However, recent global surveys of the top five causes of claims found that contract administration issues are the largest cause of claims.

These surveys document that contract administration issues are not caused solely by one party to the contract but rather are caused by both owners and contractors. The webinar identifies the top ten mistakes owners make that cause claims, as well as the top ten contractor mistakes that give rise to disputes.

With each, the presenter will share practical advice on how to avoid such mistakes.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for construction project owners, contractors, project managers, and contract administrators who are involved in the management and execution of construction projects. It is particularly beneficial for professionals seeking to minimize disputes and claims by improving their understanding of contract administration. Legal advisors, consultants, and other stakeholders who deal with construction contracts, RFIs, change orders, and project scheduling will also find this course highly valuable. The content is tailored to those who want to learn best practices for avoiding common mistakes that lead to construction claims and disputes.
