What is Construction Contract Claims Damage Analysis?
Construction contract claims damages, commonly referred to as quantum, is the financial analysis of complex and often contentious projects.
The construction contract claims damages analysis is a process in the construction industry that involves the assessment and quantification of financial losses or damages incurred by one party (typically a project owner, contractor or subcontractor) as a result of events or circumstances that have disrupted or impacted the construction project.
