Claim Evaluation /
Preparation / Resolution
Despite industry efforts to reduce
claims by using partnering and alliances, or more subtle methods involving
program managers, project sponsors, and others to head off disputes,
construction claims appear to be increasing in most industry sectors.
Construction Contracts often contain
provisions that govern how the parties will resolve disputes.
For example,
the AIA A201 requires that all claims between the owner and the contractor
be submitted to the architect prior to furthering the dispute to
mediation, arbitration, or litigation. Contracts commonly contain
provisions that require the parties to mediate or arbitrate their
disputes.
For example, A201 requires that claims be submitted to the
architect and then mediation prior to arbitration. The following is an
excerpt from the A201:
4.6.1 Any Claim arising out of or related to
the Contract shall, after decision by the Architect or 30 days after
submission of the Claim to the Architect, be subject to arbitration. Prior
to arbitration, the parties shall endeavor to resolve disputes by
mediation.
