Wars, Sanctions and Construction Claims: Delay, Force Majeure, and Entitlement in Disrupted Project

This eBook explores how wars, sanctions, and geopolitical disruptions are reshaping construction projects and arbitration claims worldwide. It examines the growing impact of supply chain failures, material price escalation, banking restrictions, and labour shortages on project delivery and contractual performance. The guide explains how force majeure, change-in-law provisions, delay causation, mitigation obligations, and entitlement to time or cost recovery are analysed under international construction contracts, particularly FIDIC frameworks. It also highlights the importance of contemporaneous records, strategic delay analysis, and expert evidence in arbitration proceedings. Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and drafting recommendations, the publication provides contractors, employers, and legal professionals with a structured approach to managing and resolving war-related construction disputes effectively.
