Save $100 on our award-winning newsletter and get a free construction claims book.

The quickest way to lose money is improper claims management.  On the other hand, the successful contractor or owner is one that understands the claims process and legal principles.  Timeliness is everything in claims.  From notice to proposal submission, the Advisor keeps your informed, up-to-date and reminds you of what you need to know and need to do to succeed in claims.  Find out why hundreds of contractors, owners, construction managers, attorneys and consultants rely on the Construction Claims Online (www.constructionclaims.com) weekly E-letters for the latest in claims avoidance, administration and construction law.  [and our $100 charter savings offer is still available.]

For example, a few topics we've recently covered (all back issues are available free):

Claims Administration Programs Can Save Contractors Money

The Case For No Offsets to Eichleay Home Office Overhead Claims

Daily Reports - Does Yours Measure Up?

Why Delay Claims Win or Lose at Trial

6 Ways to Produce an As-Built Schedule

Finality of Change Orders

Superconference wrap-up; owner strategies on claims

And recent court decisons, such as:

a state supreme court allowed cardinal-change and abandonment where the work remained essentially unchanged but the contractor encountered access delays, congestion and improper site preparation

total costs awarded in two recent cases, one based on the Miller Act and the other on negligence

a board of contract appeals tossed the government's CPM expert's schedule analysis while awarding liquidated damages and finding the contractor could not prove compensable delay.

Put yourself in control of your construction claims processes.  Identify and successfully negotiate those claims that are justified. Learn what’s important and what’s not when preparing records; keep your subs and contractors on the right track and establish better relations with the owner.  Claims success is simply a keystroke away.

All for less than $7 per week!  It's like having an experienced construction consultant on staff at nominal cost. You can hardly afford not to. Here’s what a subscription to the Construction Claims Advisor provides you:

Ø      Construction Claims Advisor Weekly E-Letter brings you news of construction law, disputes resolution and industry news including:

·         Summary and key issues of selected opinions released in the past few weeks (with a link to immediately download the complete decision – learn first hand what happened),

·         Learn what works for other contractors and owners,

·         Interviews and discussions on hot topics by noted attorneys and consultants,

·         Digests of articles from other construction law publications,

·         Tips and techniques on claims preparation, pricing and analysis, and

·         News, commentary and technology developments that can improve you contract administration procedures.

Ø       A free copy of Construction Contract Claims, Changes and Dispute Resolution.

·         This is the updated version of Claims and Changes: Handbook for Construction Contract Management by Paul Levin, in use by thousands of project managers and owners for the past 25 years to keep a trained eye on jobsite events, properly recovering for changes and claims as well as improved change order administration.

·         As construction attorney Roy S. Mitchell says in the Foreword:

o        “…the emphasis on early claim identification, analysis, and management is more important to the contracting community than ever.

o        …a practical day-by-day guide to the proper administration of claims and change orders.  [This book] continues to serve this purpose well.

o        Without fail, it is the inexpert contractor, the administrator unskilled in the ways of change order processing, who leaves the arena financially dissatisfied and perhaps mortally wounded.  A similar comment can be made for owner representatives.  On the other hand, he who understands the process can benefit from it – sometimes very handsomely.

o        Paul Levin’s book is written for both the busy project staff and for the more experienced claims engineer.  It represents a significant education step for the contracting community, and explains complicated concepts briefly, clearly, and in the language of the construction industry.  I commend it to your attention and use.”

Ø       Complete access to all site features, include free Special Reports and all Back Issues

·        In addition to regular columns and articles, we will be publishing Advisor Supplement Reports throughout the year, which will be available at no extra charge to our readers.  Written by industry experts, these report will cover specific legal or administrative topics that may affect your projects or your processes.

·        All back issues of the Advisor are always available at your fingertips.  You can perform full text search of the entire site and pull up all articles of interest.  You save time finding the information you need, reducing lost opportunities and helping to make better decisions.

·        Just in the past three months, we covered important appellate decisions dealing with topics such as delay damages, total cost, bad faith inspection, bond claims, builder's risk insurance, lien laws, attorneys' fees, differing site conditions, termination, bid protests, warranty disclaimers, false claims and more.

Ø       Formatted, printable version provided at no extra charge

·        For those that like hard copy of their newsletters, each issue is accompanied by a “pdf” (Adobe Acrobat) version of the issue, formatted and ready to print.
