Owner Top Ten Claim Issues —Part II
publication date: Dec 21, 2003
This is Part II of the Top-Ten List of Owner Peeves voiced at the 2003’s Construction Superconference in San Francisco. In Part II we describe the strategies and techniques employed by owners to deal with Top Ten List issues. Contract clauses, bidding methods, contract administration strategies and claims analysis techniques head up this arsenal of defenses. Its not war, but the fact that over 40% of the 38 sessions addressed these issues indicate some owners still feel besieged. In addition to effective contract administration procedures, there are some innovations and instructive tips that are worth considering when dealing with early completion, RFI, delay and lost productivity claims. Contractors can benefit from this article too, as improved notice and documentation help preserve and establish the factual basis needed for successful claims resolution.
