Impact damages are probably the least understood type of construction claims .When owners and contractors discuss construction claims, issues mentioned center on poor design, change orders, site conditions, and delays. When the discussion turns to damages, the focus is on labor cost, time extensions, extended overheads, etc. All too often owners and contractors fail to raise the issue of impact damages.
