Construction Series - More Effective Delay Claim Preparation and Analysis

Summary

Possessing entitlement to a time extension does not guarantee your request will be granted. The contractor needs to be prepared to present a request that is concise, complete, and in accordance with the contract documents. A project team is typically unfamiliar with time extension or delay claim documentation, so awareness of practical guidelines for preparing these requests can make your team’s response more effective and efficient. This webinar outlines strategies the expert employs in the preparation and review of time extension requests or delay claims. We’ll also discuss the negotiation and settlement considerations that should be considered and explored by the parties.
