Introduction

Construction claims are a natural part of the industry—arising from changes, delays, unforeseen conditions, and other disruptions. Whether you're an owner, contractor, designer, or consultant, knowing how to identify, document, and resolve claims is essential to protecting your interests and maintaining productive relationships.

Many of our constituents are in the business of dealing with claims effectively and efficiently This webinar is designed to give these individuals a clear, practical understanding of how claims arise in construction projects, how to manage them effectively, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Our goal is not to turn you into a claims specialist in one hour, but to give you the language, structure, and awareness to recognize issues early and handle them professionally.

We’ll start with a quick overview of construction contracts and the clauses most often linked to claims. Then we’ll walk through the types of claims you’re most likely to encounter, their common causes, and how to build strong documentation. We’ll also cover resolution methods—from negotiation to litigation—and wrap up with practical tips to help you avoid or minimize disputes.
