🏗️ QUANTITY SURVEYING | CLAIMS & DISPUTES

What happens when something goes wrong on a construction project? A delay, variation, unexpected event or payment disagreement can quickly become a commercial issue — and sometimes a formal dispute. In this video, we explore Construction Claims & Disputes from a Quantity Surveying perspective, explaining the concepts university students need to understand without getting lost in complicated legal terminology. 📚 IN THIS VIDEO, WE COVER: • What is a construction claim? • Claim vs dispute — what’s the difference? • Why construction claims arise • Contractual entitlement • Notices and notifications • Evidence and record keeping • Causation • Extensions of time (EOT) • Delay and delay analysis • Loss and expense • Prolongation • Disruption • Variations and changes • NEC compensation events • Quantum and financial claims • Mitigation • Concurrent delay • Claims management • Dispute avoidance • Negotiation • Mediation • Adjudication • Arbitration • Litigation • The role of the Quantity Surveyor in claims and disputes 🎓 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR QUANTITY SURVEYING STUDENTS Claims and disputes sit at the intersection of construction, contracts, cost, measurement, time, risk and commercial management. Understanding the process helps you think like a QS: What happened? → What does the contract say? → What was the effect? → What evidence do we have? → What are we entitled to? → How much? → How can it be resolved? This video is designed as a conceptual learning resource for Quantity Surveying students, construction management students and anyone interested in construction contracts and commercial management. 📌 PART OF THE EDUCOM CENTRAL QUANTITY SURVEYING SERIES This series breaks down university-level Quantity Surveying concepts into clear, practical and easier-to-understand explanations.
