More and more construction claims are including a loss-of-productivity component these days. But too often the claimed amount is not properly substantiated or presented. This webinar series will help you understand what makes for a good lost productivity claim, its strengths and weaknesses, and how to respond.
To help you identify, quantify, document, measure and price a lost productivity claim, we have assembled recognized experts, including research professor William Ibbs, pricing expert William Schwartzkopf, and construction claims expert Paul Stynchcomb.

Presented by William Schwartzkopf, Sage Consulting Group
William Schwartzkopf, author of Aspen Publishers' Calculating Lost Labor Productivity in Construction Claims and Calculating Construction Damages, reviews what works in pricing, preparation, support, and analysis of lost productivity claims.
The importance of a detailed analysis using actual cost records will be highlighted, and a variety of examples will be used to illustrate the calculation of damages by various methods such as:
- Actual cost
- Total cost
- Modified total cost
- Measured mile
- Earned value
Learn which of the accepted methods of calculating lost labor productivity are appropriate in different situations, as well as how to calculate other types of costs, including:
- Extended field and home-office overhead
- Labor and equipment escalation costs
- Overtime
- Acceleration costs
In addition, a 10-to-15 minute period has been reserved at the end of each presentation for an interactive question-and-answer session so you can discuss specific issues or gain additional knowledge.
