Construction claims typically involve a written notice sent by one party to another, detailing the nature of the construction defects, the damages suffered, and the relief sought. The claim may be based on breach of contract, negligence, or other grounds, and may request compensation for damages, additional time for completion of the project, or other forms of relief. Once a construction claim has been made, the parties may engage in negotiation, mediation, or arbitration to resolve the dispute. If a resolution cannot be reached through these methods, the parties may resort to litigation in court.
