Handling Construction Disputes & Claims

HILLSBORO, Ore. - May 14, 2018 - PRLog -- Edupliance announces webinar titled, "Handling Construction Disputes & Claims" To avoid all claims there must be no changes, no delays, no shortage of qualified craft labor, no late delivery of equipment and materials, no bad weather, etc. The event goes LIVE on Thursday, May 30, from 01:00 PM to 02:30 PM, EST / 10 AM to 11:30 AM PST.

Construction projects are a fertile breeding ground for claims – unless everything on the project proceeds exactly as planned. To avoid all claims there must be no changes, no delays, no shortage of qualified craft labor, no late delivery of equipment and materials, no bad weather, etc. It is highly unlikely that anyone has ever seen this project in history. Even the pyramids in Egypt had changes, delays and construction problems.

The 90-minute webinar will be conducted by James Zack & Steven Collins
