Construction Claims

Construction claims occur when one party in a construction project seeks compensation or resolution due to issues like delays, cost overruns, or contract disputes. These claims can be made by contractors, subcontractors, or owners when unexpected problems arise, such as changes in work scope, inadequate project management, or unforeseen site conditions. The claiming party typically submits documentation outlining the issue, evidence of impact, and the requested resolution. Resolving claims often involves negotiation, mediation, or legal action to achieve a fair outcome based on the terms of the contract and relevant laws.
