About KENHAI SOLUTIONS
98% of large construction projects are delayed or over budget and disputes are becoming costlier and lengthier. The harm to the public and to businesses is significant. While inevitable conflicts can be constructive through communication, disputes kill the relationship between the project owner and its EPC contractor. Claims typically move disagreements to the field of adversarial legalism. Instead of engineers speaking with engineers, lawyers write to lawyers. Formalism reaches an extreme level. Even the language changes, from plain English to jargon and latin gadgets, as if contracts had to be mysterious. The slide from conflict to dispute, with the claim at its hinge, is a de-communication process that ultimately kills the entire project.
It is possible to address the claim and keep you in full control of your project.
A claim is simply a document that materializes a conflict. It can be a tool to reset the project to execution success. Claims emerge in a context of project failure – not by choice – and to resolve the claim with the right settlement equals to saving the project. Claims can set the stage for negotiation of the project’s deep conflicts. They can therefore be beneficial provided that they are (i) grounded in site realities and (ii) commercially realistic.
