Demystify complicated construction claims with this indispensable guide

Given how common complex claims have become in the modern built environment, Fundamentals of Construction Claims: A 9-Step Guide for General Contractors, Subcontractors, Architects and Engineers is an absolutely critical addition to the library of any construction professional.

Written by William J. McConnell, PE, JD, MSCE, CDT, a celebrated lawyer, author, engineer, and expert witness, Fundamentals of Construction Claims sets out clear and concrete strategies for developing a construction claim from beginning to end. The author's straightforward 9-Step method helps readers avoid costly dispute resolution fees by:

- Explaining entitlement requirements for various types of claims, including differing site conditions, added scope, and weather delays
- Offering procedures for calculating delay impacts through forensic scheduling analysis
- Defining, in detail, four simple ways to prove damages

Throughout, relevant case studies are used to illuminate the principles found within and bring life to the concepts the author introduces.
