Feb 22, 2023

This unique webinar will present a number of “war stories” to highlight some pitfalls that owners and contractors all too often fall into. The webinar is based on 15 real life projects and will discuss the construction claims that arose – the how and the why. The webinar will describe the outcome of each claim and offer “lessons learned” from each claim situation – some for owners, others for contractors, and some for both.
