EPIC Training – Avoiding Construction Overruns and Managing Construction Disputes

EPIC Training – Avoiding Construction Overruns and Managing Construction Disputes

This course deals with the issues that cause construction overruns in time and cost, the resulting disputes, and the means to minimize their impact on a project’s success. The first step is selecting the most appropriate project delivery system and analyzing and managing the anticipated risks. The second step is recognizing the importance of effective project controls, and then devising a project and document control system to minimize claims and disputes. Changes will impact the project schedule and cause delays. Analyzing these delays and their impact on productivity is essential in managing and settling disputes.

This course addresses the different methods used to present and analyze delay and productivity claims. It will also review the factors that lead to construction claims by different parties and the basis for calculating their entitlements. The course then examines the strategies that owners, consultants and contractors use to avoid disputes and minimize their risk to achieve the project’s objectives. It also examines amicable ways to resolve disputes as they arise, through negotiation, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods.
