Samuel Bentil Reaches No. 1 Bestselling Author Status on Amazon with New Book Release "Avoid Construction Disputes"
Samuel Bentil, a renowned construction disputes expert and Senior Director at Ankura Consulting Group, has released a new book, "Avoid Construction Disputes: 10 Principles to Collaborate Effectively to Achieve On-Time and On-Budget Project Objectives." The book, which has already achieved No. 1 bestseller status in multiple categories on Amazon and is a New Hot Release in several others, is poised to transform the way stakeholders in the construction industry approach project management and dispute avoidance.
With over 18 years of experience in the construction industry, Bentil has served as both a project planner and a disputes and forensic claims consultant. Having investigated delays and cost overruns on more than 100 projects-including a $15 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility-he brings unparalleled insights into the root causes of disputes and their detrimental impact on stakeholders.
The construction industry is facing over $80 billion in business disputes across all sectors, primarily due to project delays and cost overruns. Bentil's Avoid Construction Disputes delves into these persistent challenges and provides ten actionable principles to mitigate risks, prevent conflicts, and foster collaboration among stakeholders. By adopting these principles, project owners, contractors, and business leaders can minimize costly legal battles, ensure smoother project execution, and achieve success with greater confidence.
The key benefits of implementing these principles aren't insignificant. They allow project managers and leaders to avoid common pitfalls and lay a strong foundation for project success by eliminating costly disputes, shift from a dispute-resolution to a dispute-avoidance mindset, focusing on win-win outcomes, manage risks, navigate inevitable changes, and reduce delays and cost overruns, gain insight into the core causes of rising disputes in construction, foster a harmonious working environment through effective collaboration among stakeholders, and achieve project goals confidently while ensuring any disputes that arise are resolved swiftly.
"Relationships and bonds developed among contracting parties and team members are equally important, if not more so, than the project's product. A project's inherent quality is directly linked to the strength of these relationships," says Bentil.
Industry leaders have praised "Avoid Construction Disputes" for its practical insights and game-changing approach to construction management. "This book offers a comprehensive understanding of the causes of construction disputes, ways to avoid common pitfalls that lead to these disputes, and strategies for an organization to enhance project outcomes," said Adwoa Abban MRICS MAIQS MCIArb ARI, CQS, Principal Consultant, Quantum Phases Consortium Pty Ltd.
Jack Canfield, Bestselling Author of "The Success Principles" and "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series stated: "Packed with universal principles and breakthrough ideas, this book is essential for anyone managing contracts, from large-scale infrastructure projects to everyday developments. A game-changer!"
"Avoid Construction Disputes: 10 Principles to Collaborate Effectively to Achieve On-Time and On-Budget Project Objectives" is available on Amazon and major book retailers worldwide.
