01 / The Problem

Most claims fail before they're ever filed.

The project is over budget. The schedule is blown. Everyone has a different version of what happened — and none of it is documented in a way that survives a dispute.

Change orders were signed under pressure with no time impact reserved. Acceleration was ordered verbally on a Tuesday. The baseline schedule was never formally approved. Emails contradict the RFI log.

By the time you're staring at a demand letter or a Notice of Dispute, the record looks like a crime scene with no chain of custody.

73%

of construction claims are reduced or denied due to documentation deficiencies — not because the claim lacked merit.
