Even the largest and most sophisticated contractors wrestle with recurring commercial problems that arise time and again, endangering the financial success of the project. This panel of industry heavyweights will discuss (i) how to develop a disruption claim where you can identify no measured mile, (ii) how to avoid funding a project through large, unpaid change orders, (iii) how to deal with unmanageable contractual risk that the Owner seeks to shift downstream, and (iv) how to mitigate disputes between the contractor and the designer on a Design-Build job.  

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the GCs of 4 top contractors feel are their biggest recurring challenges on projects.
  • Understand what has not worked in the past to solve these problems.
  • Understand innovative solutions to these problems.
