Claims and disputes on a project do not appear suddenly or even unexpectedly. Experience indicates that when a dispute occurs, there is normally a backstory or history of eventsādecisions or a lack of decisionsāthat occurred anywhere from a few weeks to several years prior. Typically, these past events or decisions are identified as the āearly warning signsā of claims and disputes. Often, it is only when claims are filed at the end of a project that attorneys and claims consultants review project documentation and interview the project team to identify these early warning signs. Many project team members share a similar thought, āIf only I had recognized that when it happened!ā A detailed list of early warning signs of pending construction claims and disputes can be an invaluable tool for any project team. Based on the collective observations of a number of construction claims practitioners, the Ankura Construction Forum established a list of these warning signs and divided them into the typical phases of a project including Planning and Bid, Initial Contract, and Construction. This comprehensive presentation identifies the type of claim or dispute that may arise, what the potential warning signs might be, when they may occur, and which team members should be on the lookout.
