Overview of the webinar
Most owners and contractors are aware of different types of claims – change, differing site conditions, suspension of work, acceleration, and termination claims. While most are aware of the direct costs associated with these claims, many are not familiar with the concept of impact damages and how these damages are additive to the direct and delay costs arising from claims. In this webinar attendees will learn about impact damages and what they may include. Attendees will gain a better understanding of impact damages and the issues surrounding this form of damage. This webinar will also explore 10 types of impact damage claims. For each of the 10 types of impact, damage claims the webinar will identify and discuss one or more potential defenses owners may employ to analyze and resolve impact damage issues
Who should attend?

- Owners

Why should you attend?
This webinar identifies legitimate impact damages and some “claim games” centering on impact damages – how to identify these and how to defend against them. Attendees will become familiar with some suggested defenses against such games – some of which require contract language while others are more pragmatic. The intent of the webinar is to advise project participants on how to resolve impact damages on the site and not in the courtroom.
Attendees will become fully conversant with the ins and outs of impact damages, how to prepare legitimate impact damage claims; how to analyze such claims; and how to resolve such claims. This unique session will deal with this very specialized form of claim damages in a practical manner.
