The construction industry is facing more than $80 billion in business disputes across all sectors, primarily due to project delays and cost overruns. Such disputes not only escalate costs and erode business relationships, but they also squander public or investor resources, elevate stress levels among employees and the workforce, and pass on increased costs to the final consumer, exacerbating economic hardships.
Avoid Construction Disputes identify the root causes of these pervasive issues and offer ten actionable principles to help stakeholders prevent or resolve them. By adopting these principles early, parties can collaborate effectively to manage risks, control changes, and achieve project goals without disputes hindering progress.
Drawing from extensive experience as a dispute and forensic claims consultant, Samuel Bentil developed these ten principles to help project owners and business leaders in the construction sector avoid the detrimental impacts of delays, cost overruns, and disputes.
Key Benefits of Implementing These Principles:
- Avoid common pitfalls and lay a strong foundation for project success by eliminating costly disputes.
- Shift from a dispute-resolution to a dispute-avoidance mindset, focusing on win-win outcomes.
- Manage risks, navigate inevitable changes, and reduce delays and cost overruns.
- Gain insight into the core causes of rising disputes in construction.
- Highlight the critical importance of collaboration and foster a harmonious working environment among stakeholders.
- Achieve project goals confidently, ensuring that disputes are resolved swiftly if they do occur.
“Relationships and bonds developed among contracting parties and team members are equally important, if not more so, than the project’s product. A project’s inherent quality is directly linked to the strength of these relationships.”—Samuel Bentil
