Key Takeaways
- Most construction disputes originate from ambiguous contracts—a detailed SOW prevents 80% of potential disputes.
- Dispute resolution should follow an escalation path: negotiation, mediation (70-80% resolution rate), arbitration, then litigation.
- Builder's risk insurance protects the property during construction and is cost-effective for projects over $50K.
- Performance bonds guarantee contractor completion but are typically only cost-effective for projects exceeding $100K.
