“35% of construction professional’s time is spent looking for project information…”
“If you can’t find an email to back it up when you have a litigation, it could mean losing a case which means thousands, if not millions of dollars on the table, so that’s crucial” Ali Farahzadi, Sr. Project Manager
The Cost of Disputes in Construction
Covid-19, Staffing Challenges, Energy Prices, Supply-Chain Issues, Increased Costs, and Inflation all contribute to boiling financial pressures in the construction industry. With costs on the rise, so is the risk of litigation. Of 500 companies surveyed in Europe, 87% claimed to have dealt with legal disputes in the past 12 months, an increase of 63% over the previous year. Here, in North America, construction disputes rose from $18.8m in 2019 to $37.9m in 2020. Ouch.
60% of general contractors struggle with coordination and communication between project team members and quality of the documentation as key contributors to decreased labor productivity.
Time is Money
