Delay and Disruption Claims in Construction aims to provide readers with the practical knowledge for understanding and preparing delay and disruption claims in the construction industry and to provide calculation methodologies for damages and mitigation mechanisms.

It is an internationally-applicable, practical resource that guides professionals through every type and aspect of delay and disruption claims. Drawing on their experience, the authors outline a practical approach to the presentation of delay and disruption claims in construction within a legal, contractual and technical framework. Detailed case studies are used to describe the different problems that can be encountered and explain the more dynamic approach to the settlement of claims, often taken in the international market, to help reduce the time and cost of legal proceedings.

This book will provide an update to the previous edition, published in 2011. It will incorporate new case law and further develop certain themes within the book, as well as including new case studies.
