Construction Planning
Construction can range from straightforward to infinitely complex. Construction projects often consist of many smaller projects that all need to work together to meet the bigger project plan. Each smaller part must be successfully completed on time and on budget in order for the larger project to succeed. This means that every small detail of construction project planning is essential to the project's success. Expertly detailed planning is required, and clearly communicated in a construction contract.
A properly planned construction project will aim to be cost-efficient, labor-efficient, and safe for all parties involved. Potential risks must be assessed ahead of time and accounting for expected and unexpected costs is key to your peace of mind. A professionally planned and executed proposal will include fail-safes to mitigate unforeseen project complications, such as unexpected environmental or financial issues.
Construction Dispute Resolution
Because of the complex nature of construction projects, unfortunately disputes occur frequently, often involving many parties. These can include:
- Acceleration Claims
- Change Claims
- Construction Delay Claims
- Differing Site Conditions Claims
- Design/Construction Defect Claims
- Force Majeure Claims
- Labor Productivity Claims, and;
- Suspension and Termination Claims
