• Resolve issues proactively during the project to avoid arbitration or litigation, ensuring smoother project completion.

Description
Construction projects are fertile breeding grounds for construction claims and disputes – unless everything on the project proceeds exactly as planned.

To avoid all claims, there must be no changes, no delays, no shortage of qualified craft labour, no late delivery of equipment and materials, no bad weather, etc. It is highly unlikely that anyone has ever built this project in history. However, claims (requests for additional time or money under the provisions of the contract) do not have to result in disputes. Disputes arise when contractors and owners cannot resolve claims by negotiation and turn unresolved issues over to attorneys to resolve them in the legal arena. This webinar is designed to show owners and their representatives how disputes can be avoided at the end of the project through upfront dispute resolution planning during the design, bidding, and construction phases of a project.

The webinar discusses four types of reviews that should be applied to contract documents: the need for a comprehensive scheduling specification and payment for changes article; how to reduce claims based on large numbers of RFIs; how to pre-purchase owner-caused delay and lock in daily delay costs at the time of bidding; how to predict the weather for the project, and other techniques designed to precludes disputes at the end of the project by resolving issues without going to arbitration or litigation.
