Presentation Topic: Tales from the Construction Claims Crypt & Lessons Learned
Abstract - Construction industry surveys indicate that one of the most common causes of claims and disputes is inadequate contract administration. This paper presents 10 “war stories” to illustrate some pitfalls owners and contractors all too often fall into. The paper is based on multiple real-life projects and discusses the claims that arose – the how and the why. The paper describes the outcome of each claim and offers “lessons learned” from each claim situation some for owners, others for contractors, and some for both.
