The rise of multi-party litigation, particularly in the construction defects area, has created the need for damage allocations. While the owner of a project knows only that it has been damaged in some amount by defective construction, it is incumbent on the developers and general contractor to allocate that damage among the various parties against which claims are being made. In delay, disruption and acceleration litigation, a party can only recover those damages that are properly attributable to the other party. Sage’s expertise in cost analysis makes it well qualified to allocate the damages among the various parties in a construction dispute.
