Project managers sit at the centre of complex engagements where multiple things can go wrong. Common claim scenarios include failure to manage project timelines, resulting in costly delays, inadequate cost control leading to budget overruns, errors in procurement or contract administration that expose the client to additional costs, failure to identify and manage project risks, poor coordination between contractors, consultants and suppliers, and negligent supervision of works that leads to defects. In construction project management, the financial stakes are particularly high, with claims frequently running into hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
