Causes of Construction Disputes
Sometimes, a fair and amicable agreement cannot be achieved despite your best efforts to mitigate issues and resolve disputes. This can occur for a myriad of reasons, including
- Natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen acts of God are usually classified as a force majeure.
- Unforeseen site conditions
- Defective, conflicting, or incomplete Designs
- Ambiguous contracts or Unenforceable contracts
- Under-staffing labor resources or poorly skilled resources
- Project mismanagement and/or poor coordination of trades
- Poor Change Management
- Disruptions—death by 1,000 cuts and loss of efficiency
- Dishonest Parties—One-sided contracts with unenforceable terms and clauses. This is usually instigated by a large prime contractor manipulating subcontractors by awarding large projects.
