JENSEN HUGHES
The best way to mitigate
construction claims risk is to seek
advice before getting into trouble
Canadian Design and Report special feature
A global name in fire safety and code compliance,
Jensen Hughes is also a leading provider of construction
claims, forensic cost analysis and quantification of dam-
ages, and construction risk identification and mitigation.

All projects, regardless of size, are at risk of a dispute
or claim. Most companies need an expert to help navi-
gate commercial deliverables and to mitigate these risks.

Construction claims advisory lead Steven Karst and his
team work on files in all sectors from residential to large
commercial and industrial projects, regardless of project
size. The team’s goal is to work with companies before
problems arise, though often they are called in once a
project is at risk.

Karst encourages a proactive approach. “Ideally we
would work with a company early on to audit their current
processes and provide input and advice to mitigate risk.

We can also help set up systems that are simple but that
will properly protect them.”
