One of the most important factors in your construction contract is knowing when and how to make a claim.   

Understanding your contract, whether it is PWC, RIAI, FIDIC, JCT or NEC is crucial.  This starts with knowing what your contract can do for you and how to make it happen.  We will cover how construction contracts deal with money and delay claims, we will focus on:
