Program Overview: What is Construction Claims, Variations and Dispute Resolution?
Construction Claims, Variations & Dispute Resolution is Edstellar's instructor-led program for contracts managers, quantity surveyors, and project teams who live with change orders and contentious delays. Participants learn claims foundations, variation and change-order control, delay analysis and time claims, quantum costing of prolongation and disruption, and dispute avoidance and resolution pathways. Every module ties to contract reality: notices, records, and cause-and-effect evidence.
Training is case-based throughout. Teams draft claim notices, build delay analyses, and calculate prolongation costs in guided labs with direct instructor feedback. Change-order control exercises and resolution routines sharpen the habits that keep records defensible. The program closes with a capstone where the team prepares a complete end-to-end claim and dispute case, from first notice to resolution argument.
Late notices, thin records, and unquantified delays turn legitimate claims into lost money and deadlocked projects. Many teams discover this only when a dispute lands on their desk. This program teaches notice discipline, documented cause and effect, and defensible delay analysis, so your claims hold up and your resolution routines protect margin while keeping projects moving.
What your team walks out with is a battle-tested claim file: a full end-to-end claim and dispute case built from a realistic scenario, notice register, delay analysis, quantum breakdown, and resolution strategy, reviewed and stress-tested by the instructor. The next time a variation hits the site, your people will not scramble for evidence. They will already know where it lives and how to present it.
Over six modules, teams progress from claim foundations to a full capstone claim case. The program emphasizes notice discipline, documented cause and effect, defensible delay analysis, and resolution routines that protect margin and keep projects moving.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Claims and dispute resolution comes last in this construction path because claims arise from how projects, costs and contracts were handled. Your team learns to run projects, control costs and apply FIDIC and NEC first, then deals with variations and disputes.

Build Construction Claims Around Traceable Records and Defensible Time-Cost Analysis
Edstellar connects claim foundations with variation pricing, delay analysis, and dispute preparation. Participants work through representative project records to develop time and cost reasoning before defending a complete simulated claim. Feedback examines notice coverage, cause-and-effect evidence, calculation assumptions, and negotiation rationale rather than promising entitlement or a settlement outcome.
- Step 01
Consult
We review project and contract responsibilities to identify gaps in notices, variation records, delay methods, prolongation costing, and preparation for claim negotiations.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish claims records before change-order pricing, time-impact analysis, and quantum models, then negotiation preparation within the integrated claim and dispute case.
- Step 03
Align
We align construction-claims facilitation with quantity surveying, planning, contract administration, and project roles, matching case methods to the cohort's contract familiarity.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor simulated infrastructure records, delayed programmes, and variation sheets to relevant contract contexts while keeping entitlement assumptions and disputed facts explicit.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants price variations, analyze delays, and model prolongation costs, receiving feedback on record traceability, cause-and-effect logic, and the consistency of negotiation positions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the defended claim for complete supporting records, coherent time and cost analysis, transparent assumptions, and a justified dispute-resolution strategy.
