From Risk to Resolution: Developing Claim-Savvy Project Managers

Thursday, September 24 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

In today’s fast-moving construction industry, project managers can almost count on encountering claims at some point in a project’s life cycle. Whether driven by schedule delays, unforeseen site conditions, or construction defects, claims have become a near-inevitable part of modern project delivery. As projects grow more complex and contractors face shrinking profit margins due to high interest rates and rising material costs, the ability to effectively manage these claims can be the difference between a successful project and a troubled one.

This webinar offers practical insights and proven strategies to help project managers confidently navigate the challenges of reviewing, preparing, and negotiating claims at every phase of their project. It will explore the most common types of claims emerging across the industry and provide detailed guidance on how to defend against them. By equipping project managers with the right knowledge and tools, project teams will be far better prepared for the battles ahead.
