Assessment of Major International Variations, Delay, Disruption & Acceleration Claims with input from HKA’s CRUX Report

25 June 2020 – 10:30 BST / 11:30 CET

This 60 minute webinar, followed by Q&A, will examine the key commercial issues facing Contractors and Employers in the International Engineering and Construction Market in relation to the evaluation of variations and claims for delay, disruption and acceleration.

We will overlay this talk with actual in-depth research from the HKA 2019 CRUX report which we issue annually. The CRUX report is a Thought Leadership Publication which provides the engineering and construction industry with a valuable insight into causation of claims and disputes from major capital projects HKA have worked on from around the World.

The 2019 CRUX report is based on the analysis of 4,105 causes of dispute on major 700 projects in 72 countries which HKA worked on between January 2017 to the end of August 2019 with a combined capital expenditure  in excess of US$1.2 trillion.
