When a contractor’s costs exceed its contract amount on a #construction project due to owner-caused impacts, the contractor can choose from several damages methods in seeking equitable compensation. Previous blog posts addressed the Total Cost, Modified Total Cost, Jury Verdict, and A/B Estimate methods and Quantum Meruit. This post focuses on the Delta Estimate method, and a future post will discuss the Discrete Damages/Cost Variance Analysis method. #constructionlaw #contractors #constructionclaims #constructionmanagement #constructionindustry

Timely resolution of change order issues is key to the success of #engineering and #construction projects. Ignoring, delaying, or taking a prejudicial approach to the change order process can lead to distrust, workflow interruption, cost increases, delays, late project completion, and claims and disputes. This article discusses successful change order negotiation and finalization, change order recommended practices and procedures, and more. #constructionprojects #constructionlaw #constructionindustry #contractors

Can an EPC contractor be held responsible for defective design information in an owner or employer’s Invitation to Bid (ITB) documents? Numerous legal disputes have explored this question. In this article, Joy E. Pechet, PMP, looks at how an EPC contractor might receive compensation for cost overruns and schedule delays due to errors, deficiencies, or other shortcomings of an owner’s ITB. #construction #constructionlaw #constructionmanagement #contractors #constructionindustry #constructiondisputes

#Construction claims often involve the cost, quantity, and quality of materials a contractor installs on a project. In this article, Long International Founder Richard J. Long, P.E., P.Eng., discusses Variation in Quantity clauses, legal underpinnings, the Differing Site Conditions clause as a remedy, the Changes clause as a remedy, and notice requirements. #constructionmanagement #contractors #constructionlaw #constructionindustry #constructionclaims

Proving causation in a cumulative impact claim typically requires detailed, complete contemporaneous project documentation. The backbone of the cause-and-effect linkage in any claim is the cause-effect matrix. As multiple causes and their resultant effects are added, the matrix can become complex for a highly impacted project.
