Construction projects are often complex in nature with so many stakeholders involved and a lot of pieces to the puzzle. No matter what you seem to do, things can go south at any time in a project, resulting in a claim or even a full blown out dispute between the contractor and the owner.
Claims and disputes can be demanding and hard for all stakeholders involved. It can put a strain on relationships between stakeholders and result consuming a lot of time and effort which otherwise could be put to productive use on the construction project. Or worse, it could end up being costly for all parties involved if disputes get full blown and lawyers get involved.
Considering all these, it’s in the interest of all parties involved to do their best to prevent getting into claims or disputes in the first place. And in the event of a claim that is out of your control, it is important to equip yourself with the right strategies to navigate the claim and protect your interests as an owner or contractor.
