Solving The Most Troubling Construction Disputes
Presentation Speaker
Dr. Katherina Tarnai-Lokhorst
Presentation Abstract
he topics we will talk about in this speech come from CURT which is the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT)
From the 2024 roundtable these are the topics they found to be the most troubling in the North American construction industry.
The topics are:
- Errors or omissions in the contract documents
- Failure to understand and/or comply with contractual obligations
- Poorly drafted or incomplete and unsubstantiated claims
- Owner directed changes
- An unrealistic contract duration or completion dates
In this speech we will address these issues and what you can do to minimize or mitigate them.
