PRESENTATION: Construction Claims & Forensic Analyses What You Should Know
Construction projects, especially the larger projects, can be and often are complex endeavors to manage to towards a successful completion due to many factors. Project owners, designers, contractors and other stakeholders often have competing priorities. Typically, contracts allow the party that is seeking compensation or schedule relief for the a scope change, usually the contractor, to submit a claim to the other party when regular change order negotiations dont appear to be leading to an amicable a mutually agreeable conclusion, and the subject of the claim is in dispute between the parties. A claim is a formal demand seeking compensation and/or schedule relief as a result of an action or inaction that the other contracting party took or failed to take. Even if a claim is a disputed change does not seem to be inevitable, knowing how to prepare for a claim and when the time comes will save a significant amount of time when the amount of available time is nearly seemingly non-existent. This presentation will be a high-level discussion describing the following aspects of disputed changes on construction projects, along with what forensic claims analysts know and what they look for:
- The Definition and Common Causes of Claims in construction;
- Key aspects to preparing a Claim, including the Three Key Proofs that must be part of claim;
- Know what to do to Prepare for the possibility of a disputed change and the need to submit a Claim;
- Overview of a few Common types of Claims:
- Directed Changes
- Constructive Changes
- Differing Site Conditions
- Suspension of Work
- Productivity Loss
- Delay
