Avoiding and Managing Construction Disputes

ON DEMAND

Disputes don’t emerge out of nowhere. They follow familiar patterns that repeat across projects, sectors and geographies. In this compelling session, Gerry Brannigan, Partner at leading dispute resolution consultancy HKA, lifts the lid on the causes of claims, cost overruns and project delays. 

Drawing on data from HKA’s CRUX Insight Report, which analyses more than 2,000 construction and engineering projects worldwide, the presentation exposes the recurring issues behind billions in cost claims and nearly a thousand cumulative years of delay.

To help you understand where things go wrong, Jerry explains

• The top causes of claims and disputes, in the UK and globally 
• Examples of scope-related disputes 
• The rise of design-related disputes and the design issues affecting UK buildings 
• How the Building Safety Act is reshaping accountability and competence expectations

As well as presenting real project examples, the presentation includes ‘Lessons from the experts’ on how to avoid disputes, including advice for clarifying roles and responsibilities and managing change proactively.

This free presentation is essential viewing for designers, project managers, contractors and clients who want to reduce disputes and deliver projects with stronger outcomes.
