IT’S NOT UNCOMMON FOR ISSUES TO ARISE between the project owner and the contractor. These issues can stem from various factors such as miscommunication, different expectations, scope changes, or resource constraints. Here are the common ones:
1. Violation of specifications for materials and workmanship;
2. Violation of the terms of agreement;
3. Interpretation and/or application of contractual provisions;
4. Commencement time and delays;
5. Maintenance and defects;
6. Changes in contract price,
7. Payment default of project Owner or Contractor; and
8. Amount of damages and penalties.
TO MINIMIZE THESE, it’s crucial for both the project owner and the contractor to establish a clear and detailed project plan, scope, deliverables, timelines, and communication protocols. Regular meetings and status updates can help address any emerging issues promptly.
