Objective:
Construction claims are an indispensable process and found in almost every project. They involve many resources and parties, and have a significant effect on project cost and time. It is therefore a process that requires efficient and effective management throughout the entire life cycle of a project. However, more often than not, construction claims are poorly managed and the main source of disputes resulting in strained relations and wasted resources.
