Evolving Disputes, Smarter Solutions: How Construction Leaders Can Stay Ahead

In this episode of the Construction Leaders Podcast, hosts Nick Soto and Carly Trout of CMAA sit down with Bryan Vanlenten and Steve Warhoe of Arcadis to unpack insights from Arcadis’ 15th Annual Construction Disputes Report. The discussion explores how dispute values are rising even as resolution times shrink, and what that means for today’s construction landscape. The guests break down the most common causes—like contract errors, compliance lapses, and lingering labor and supply chain challenges—while sharing how technology such as AI and BIM is reshaping project management and dispute resolution. The conversation underscores the power of communication, contract clarity, and proactive risk assessment in preventing costly conflicts.
