Strategic operational techniques that give parties an edge in construction disputes

Having assisted numerous clients with strategic operational techniques in multi-family construction disputes, we know the techniques that offer the most value and highest chance of success, some of which include the following:

• Document systems and analysis
• Capturing worksite conditions
• Consultant inspections and reports
• Change orders and directives
• Back charging
• Direct payments
• Opportunities to cure non-conforming or defective work
• Processing pay applications
• Establishing liquidated damages claims
• Delay and critical path analysis
• Reviewing and analyzing schedule of values and job cost reports
• Construction experts
• Lien and bond claims
• Insurance coverage  
• Termination

Take document systems, for example. Document systems provide a foundation that allows clients to implement other operational techniques. Accurate and efficient records systems allow clients to timely capture worksite conditions, progress of work, delays, non-conforming and/or defective work, payment issues, manpower issues, notice procedures and design issues. If you are in a construction dispute, you are probably facing the task of establishing a claim or defense. Establishing a claim or defense depends on your ability to capture the project. Document systems are imperative to that goal.
