On January 20, Link2Build will present a webinar entitled Pandemics & Construction Productivity.

Presenters Dan Leduc from Norton Rose Fulbright LLP and Maged Abdelsayed of Deloitte will discuss contractors’ entitlement to and calculation of claims arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Registration is free.

Was this your first global pandemic?

And that notwithstanding, we have had a front row seat to watch how you have amazingly dealt with the massive change in circumstances you experienced and continue to experience.

Obviously, the construction industry is resilient, but not without a cost for being so.

Now that we are several months into the pandemic, you have, for the most part, adapted to COVID-19 impacts and have developed a greater certainty as to what those costs, or better damages, entail; now permitting claims to be valued, assuming timely notices were provided and the entitlement grounds are laid out, allowing the claims to be negotiated or determined.

The focus of this webinar will be on the entitlement to, which is largely driven by your contract language and its risk allocation, and calculation of such claims with an introduction to how one might establish the costing rationale for disruption, delays and/or loss of productivity.
