Key Takeaways
- Construction claims require both entitlement (the right to additional compensation) and damages (the quantified amount).
- The most common reason claims fail is lack of contemporaneous documentation, not lack of merit.
- Mediation resolves approximately 70-80% of construction disputes at $2,000-$10,000 per party.
- Contract notice requirements (typically 7-21 days) are strictly enforced—late notice can bar an otherwise valid claim.
