    Contract & Claim Management

    “Preparing and making a successful claim


    depends on the collection of facts and the supporting
    evidence to prove the delay and the costs incurred.”

    The Construction Industry is widely associated with a high degree of risk due to
    the nature of “Construction Business”.

    The risk intensive structure brings claims and disputes forward. Claims in the
    construction industry are inevitable in most cases.

    Avoidance or a quick resolution of claims is vital for the economic success of


    the project.

    And, well-prepared claims play an essential role for effective claims


    management.

    There are various ways of preparing a claim. The level of information needed
    will differ depending on the type and size/value of the claim.
