Current process challenges

The current process of litigating and managing construction defect claims is flawed: time consuming, inefficient and expensive. It is plagued with the following challenges:

  • A typical claim takes, on average, two to three years to settle.
  • It is estimated that most insurers are paying out $2.50 for every $1.00 they collect in premiums for construction dispute insurance.
  • The cost to litigate is often in excess of the indemnity – that is, the legal expenses are amounting to more than the cost for losses, repairs, or replacements.
  • The Building Industry Association estimated that litigation costs may exceed indemnity by as much as five to one.
  • There is rarely effective project management processes used to guide the case, resulting in endless (not to mention expensive) litigation.
