Overview

Construction claims and disputes rarely emerge without warning. They typically stem from a sequence of events, decisions, omissions, or project conditions that develop over weeks, months, or even years.

These indicators-often overlooked in real time-become clear only during post project claim reviews, when documentation and team interviews reveal patterns that were missed.

This webinar consolidates the collective insights of seasoned construction claims consultants to present a comprehensive set of early warning signs, organized across the major phases of a project:

• Bid & Proposal Phase
  
• Initial Contract Phase
  
• Early Construction Phase
  
• Construction Phase

For each warning sign, the session identifies:

• Which party (owner or contractor) should be alert
  
• The potential claim or dispute that may result
  
• Recommended proactive steps to prevent escalation

"Often, it is only when claims are filed at the end of a project that these early warning signs are identified."

Why should you Attend

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify a broad range of early warning signs that commonly precede construction claims and disputes
  
• Understand the types of claims and disputes that may arise from each warning sign
  
• Recognize the actions required to mitigate risk, prevent escalation, and avoid formal disputes

"Experience indicates that when a dispute occurs, there is normally a back story or history of events that gave rise to the dispute."
