Claims and disputes are an unavoidable reality of construction, and the difference between recovering entitlement and absorbing loss often comes down to how well claims are prepared and managed. This program equips professionals to identify, substantiate, and defend claims, and to navigate the dispute resolution routes that determine commercial outcomes on contested projects.
As projects grow more complex and contracts more demanding, expertise in claims and dispute resolution has become one of the most commercially valuable skills in construction. This course builds rigorous claims discipline and delay-analysis capability while addressing emerging trends in dispute avoidance and alternative resolution.
