About this book

The latest and most up-to-date edition of the best hands-on guide to construction claims and claims response preparation

In the newly revised third edition of Construction Claims and Responses: Effective Writing and Presentation, renowned construction claims and disputes consultant Andy Hewitt delivers yet another authoritative and practical discussion of how to prepare and respond to construction claims. Covering a variety of different types of claims – including variations, extensions of time, and additional payment – the book demonstrates an effective step-by-step process of building up a claim by breaking it down into manageable sections: contract details, causes, effects, entitlement, and quantum.

You'll find worked examples of typical claims, complete with sample wording, as well as updated and simplified examples of responses, additional detail on cost calculations, and updates to material to maintain compliance with FIDIC 2017.

Readers will also discover:

  • A thorough introduction to properly constituted and presented claims, including the establishment of contractual entitlement and comprehensive documentation
  • Comprehensive explorations of what constitutes sufficient cause and effect for a construction claim
  • Revised and clarified worked examples of commonly made construction claims and responses
  • Complete discussions of accurate quantum calculations

Perfect for all construction project personnel around the world involved in the preparation of construction claims, Construction Claims and Responses will also benefit those preparing responses to such claims, as well as quantity surveyors, contracts managers, project managers, claims consultants, commercial managers, engineers, architects, and adjudicators.
