Early Warning Signs of Construction Claims & Dispute
- Learn about a large number of early warning signs of claims and disputes
- Learn what types of claims and disputes can arise from each warning sign
- Understand what must be done to prevent such follow on claims and avoid disputes
Overview of the webinar
It is axiomatic that claims and disputes on a project do not simply appear out of nowhere. Experience indicates that when a dispute occurs, there is normally a back story or history of events, decisions, lack of decisions, etc. that can be traced back from a few weeks to several years that gave rise to the dispute. It is typically these past events or decisions that are identified as the “early warning signs” of claims and disputes. Typically, it is only when claims are filed at the end of a project that attorneys and claims consultants review project documentation and interview the project team in order identify these early warnings. And, in retrospect, many project team members comment “If only I had recognized that then!” Research reveals there is little literature setting forth a detailed list of early warning signs of pending construction claims and disputes. Based on the collective observations of Navigant’s Global Construction Practice the Forum collated these early warning signs into the typical phases of a project including:
- Bid or Proposal Phase
- Initial Contract Phase
- Construction Phase
This webinar also identifies which party should watch for which early warning sign and what sort of claim or dispute may arise.
Who should attend?
- Owners and owner representatives managing capital improvement projects
