Introduction:
A contract is a written agreement that has legal force and governs the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. The parties to a construction contract must perform the obligations set forth in the agreement, and should a violation of the agreement occur, the injured party is entitled to a variety of remedies.
The term “claim” refers to the assertion of a party’s right to an extension of the contract’s duration and/or payment emanating from the contract’s stated or implied conditions. A party to the construction contract may assert a number of different claims against another party.
This training was designed to make it simpler to grasp all the strategies used in construction contract claims and their resolutions.
