Contract documents must be complete thoroughly detailed and verified prior to formalization.

An effective and meaningful claim avoidance plan can realize this target through the implementation of well conceived and comprehensive strategies during the following stages:

Despite all the precautions, there may still be probability for potential claims, but naturally much less.
In addition, many claims are not identified until the project is nearing completion, and the parties realizes that it is over budget.
Complete and accurate records can quash and forestall many claims or at least facilitate settlement and swift solutions.
