What are construction claims?

Construction claims are formal requests made by one party in a construction project, usually a contractor or subcontractor, seeking additional time, compensation, or both due to events that affect the project's cost, schedule, or performance. These claims often arise from issues such as design changes, unforeseen site conditions, delays, or disputes over contract interpretation. Proper documentation, timely submission, and clear communication are essential for successful claim resolution in construction projects.
