Learn how to navigate differing site conditions in construction contracts, manage risks, and defend or recover against related claims.
Almost every construction and renovation project has a risk that the physical conditions encountered during the performance of the work may be materially different than the conditions foreseen or anticipated by the parties when the contract is signed.
Differing site conditions are unknown. The discovery of a differing site condition can lead to time and cost overrun. Failing to adequately address the risk of differing site conditions can result in higher prices, claims, disputes, insolvency, and failed construction projects.
This topic will provide owners, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, public agencies, contracting officers, administrators, attorneys, and others who have an interest in construction contracting and claims with the knowledge necessary to navigate the risk of differing site conditions through their contracts and during the construction process. This material will also help such persons to identify different ways in which they can recover or defend against claims for differing site conditions. This information is critical to those who contract for, manage, supervise, or administer construction services that may be adversely affected by unknown physical conditions at a construction site.
