Akerman Construction Practice Co-Chair Stacy Bercun Bohm and Associate Trav Clark, writing in Construction Dive, offer practical guidance for construction project owners facing rising costs due to global tariffs. While increased expenses may seem inevitable, the authors outline key steps owners can take – even for existing projects. They recommend reviewing contract terms for escalation clauses, communicating early with general contractors about material sourcing, and requiring thorough documentation for any cost increases. The pair also note that by proactively assessing contracts and collaborating with project partners, owners can better manage tariff-related risks.
