Claims Mitigation Still a Hot Topic

We recently sponsored a webinar on construction claims mitigation and winning strategies. I guess given the litigious nature of our industry, I shouldn't have been surprised at how popular this event turned out to be. I was also please to see that the level of sophistication, in terms of our audience's understanding of the issues, was very advanced. Hopefully this was not as a result of first-hand experienced, even though 70% of participants said they had been involved in a construction claim.

While we haven't promoted e-Builder as a claims mitigation tool for some time - it seems that owners have so many other challenges to deal with first (inefficient budget management, poor scheduling practices, lax documentation) that this topic doesnt' come up in conversations.

However, I was reminded by a couple of attendees that online project management systems continue to prove their worth as a claims mitigation tool, especially when coupled with sound project documentation strategies.
