Construction Claims Management Training Course

Why Attend

Construction Claims can determine whether a project closes out profitably or ends in prolonged dispute, making the ability to manage them well one of the most valuable skills in modern contract and project delivery. This training course builds practical, end-to-end competency in identifying, preparing, and managing claims, giving participants the tools to protect their organization's position from the moment an entitlement arises through to final settlement.

Participants will learn how to recognize and manage delay claims and disruption on site, correctly assess entitlement to extensions of time, and maintain the project documentation needed to support a claim when it is challenged. The course places strong emphasis on practical claims preparation, helping participants build well-substantiated, defensible claims rather than reactive, poorly evidenced submissions.
