Learn how to prepare and properly evaluate and quantify inefficiency.
More funding means more projects. But it also means potentially more claims that contractors need to be prepared to submit, and owners need to be prepared to review. Having a fundamental under-standing of one of the key damages in many large infrastructure claims, inefficiency, will help you and your teams be prepared for dealing with this in construction work. All too often, contractors mis-understand what is required to demonstrate their inefficiency claims. On the flip side, owners are often ill-prepared to properly evaluate an inefficiency claim when it is submitted on their projects.This course will instruct you on how to prepare and properly evaluate and quantify inefficiency. The material will make sure you recognize key differences in productivity versus inefficiency, detail how these issues are measured, and demonstrate the most accurate ways of quantifying inefficiency damages. It will also prepare both contrac-tors and owners for inefficiency claims with some real-life legal con-siderations that help illustrate the issues in inefficiency claims.
