Documenting & Evaluating Inefficiency:
Review of 3 Real-life Case Studies
Presented by:
Scott Lowe, Principal, Trauner Consulting Services, Inc.
Everyone always has an excuse for not being able to prove that a problem has caused the contractor to be inefficient. Owners rightly complain that contractors don't document the problem. Contractors rightly complain that owner's documentation expectations can be unreasonable. And both parties refuse to acknowledge the legitimate concerns and limitations under which the other operates.
This information-packed session will explore inefficiency claims using three real-life case studies based on a hospital, an office building, and manufacturing facility projects. The speaker will review the difficulties associated with documenting and evaluating inefficiency, and how the problems illustrated by the case studies can be avoided.
This 90-minute program will:
- Introduce the case studies
- Describe the associated judge's decisions or the resolutions to the problems in detail
- Review the best approaches to the evaluation of inefficiency
- Evaluate the strength and weaknesses of the various approaches to the measurement of inefficiency, including the measured mile approach and the use published factors
- Discuss the challenges presented by any evaluation of inefficiency
- Help you learn how to avoid a similar dispute in the future
