Pinnell/Busch: Project Management Consultants for the Design & Construction Industry

HOW TO GET PAID
for Construction Changes

Contractors use this book to arm themselves with current tools and techniques for resolving construction claims and protecting their profit margin. Owners use the book to prepare independent evaluation of claims and time extension requests. Filled with case studies and examples of damage calculations, this book gives you clear guidelines for the proper documentation of a dispute... and explains how to decide on the best course of action to settle each claim. You'll learn to apply step-by-step methods and checklists to resolve both large and small claims and to minimize disputes and potential claims through good recordkeeping and contract administration and win/win negotiation.
