Claims Prevention & Resolution

GET EQUIPPED WITH BEST PRACTICES AND STRATEGIES TO

Manage Project Changes, Costs, and Schedule Claims

Are you prepared to effectively navigate the complexities of changes, cost, and delay claims in your projects?

Change is inevitable, but it's crucial to know how to manage it properly. Unresolved change requests, including the Extension of Time (EOT) requests, can escalate to a "formal claim" for additional time and money to complete the project.

Do you have the necessary tools, best practices, and strategies to handle unresolved change requests that could lead to cost or schedule claims?

Are you equipped with forensic schedule delay analysis techniques to either support or challenge such claims?

If your answer to any of these questions is NO, you are not alone.

Many project professionals struggle with resolving project claims and disputes. They don’t know how to apply established methodologies to analyze claims.

Managers often cannot close dispute issues because the available information is incomplete or inaccurate.

Consequently, you may find yourself trapped in a frustrating cycle of back-and-forth submissions, negotiations, or claim rejections. This can occur at various stages, from initial change requests to EOT requests, further escalating into a formal claim or even disputes.

Any form of claim in projects that is not resolved, even a simple change request, can become costly and result in both time and monetary losses for your company.

To mitigate these risks and ensure successful project management, it's crucial to equip yourself with the necessary knowledge and expertise in managing changes, claims, and disputes effectively. By implementing established methodologies and leveraging forensic schedule delay analysis techniques, you can confidently navigate through project complexities and safeguard your company from potential losses.

That’s why we have developed a complete fundamental claims prevention and resolution training package, covering these three important topics of “Project Change Management”, “Project Claims Management”, and “Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis”.
