Construction Disputes

Disputes remain a standard feature as construction projects become increasingly sophisticated regarding programming, technology, and the global supply chain. For many organizations, these disputes can be convoluted, protracted, and time-consuming, jeopardizing construction project schedules or drastically increasing project costs.

Heichet’s construction experts’ first option is to assist our client in implementing strategies to avoid disputes; however, when a dispute is unavoidable, they provide rigorous investigations and analyses of claims and disputes and develop reports for negotiation settlement or for formal dispute resolution. Heichet experts have worked with governments, regulators, and leading contractors worldwide and can bring their experience to conduct thorough and objective analyses to assess and mitigate risks.

At Heichet, we work with the Owner project management team to employ proactive strategies, taking steps at the front-end of a project and during construction to reduce the likelihood of disputes. Heichet also advises the Owner project management team on including a plan for dispute management in their contracts, mandating a process for promptly addressing unresolved issues before they adversely impact the project.

Heichet priority is to ensure that the Owner project management team plans and develop holistic strategies for avoiding disputes throughout the project lifecycle.
