About Access Construction Claims Training
Access Construction Claims was established by Niamh Ní Chróinín and Michael Creedon in 2025. Both are from Ireland but met in Calgary due to their common interest in construction claims and the need for comprehensive training for owners, contractors and subcontractor personnel.
