Delay claims are part of project management, however, the way we deal with them can make a big difference. Delay claims cost money and time, as well as strain the relationship between the contracting parties. So it is better to take all precautions to prevent them from arising, and then learn a few hints to manage those that do happen, in the most effective way. This webinar will go over the definition of claims and disputes, their types, and causes, and then go into prevention and resolution. This webinar deals with the subject from a neutral point of view between the owner and the contractor, providing both parties with invaluable tips and hints. In the end, both (or actually all) parties win when a dispute is prevented or resolved effectively and efficiently.

This webinar provides invaluable tips and hints for the project management team for the management of delay claims; prevention and resolution. Many of these tips are simple but have a huge benefit. According to recent studies, the number of claim disputes in the USA has increased; however, the percentage of winning cases has declined. These claims become disputes and go into the litigation track, both sides usually “lose” even when winning in the end. That’s because claim disputes cost money and time, strain relationships among parties, and take away the focus of the project management team. Following some simple tips and hints can make a significant and positive difference.
