Topic Background
In construction projects, changes are almost inevitable for various reasons. Some of these changes are due to unexpected events or circumstances, some are due to errors, omissions, or negligence, and some are deliberate changes by the owner. It is ordinary for the contractor or other party to file a claim. Many claims are resolved with the agreement of the parties involved. However, some claims fail to get resolved, and they become disputes. Many of these disputes have warning signs that parties involved must pay attention to defuse them before they become disputes. This webinar will shed light on some of these signs.
