This 3- part workshop will take place online April 27, 28 & 29th from 8:30 AM-12:30 PM

Workshops are led by a team of multi-discipline experts (Owners, Consultants and Contractors)  and will provide you with exceptional feedback, great insight and actionable strategies. 

Remember when it comes to contracts, it’s not about your own thoughts and assumptions; it’s about what is “written”!

DESCRIPTION:

Where do we run into problems most often with contract compliance and how do we mitigate these problems? Whether you are the Project Owner, the Consultants, or the Contractors, first you need to understand what you have agreed to in the CCDC and related contracts, and why the clause exists in the first place. NOT opening, reading and understanding the contract requirements until it’s too late is exactly what gets us into trouble time and time again on construction projects. Waiting until there is conflict and only then referring to the contract to see how, or if, we can get out of the problem is like playing Russian roulette.

BE AWARE: In the nuances of the prime contract clauses, there are implications and requirements impacting all partners including the Consultants and Subcontractors.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

In this session, you will learn from a team of industry partners’ perspectives:

• • Learn which CCDC and related clauses and concepts in the different project delivery methods consistently create challenges and conflict,
  • Discover what these clauses mean and why they exist
  • Explore how to mitigate the pain points associated with these clauses by developing your “go forward” strategies and practices
  • Apply your skills to a specific scenario by presenting possible outcomes and strategies to achieve alignment by all parties.

Finally, through interactive exercises, we will explore some specific scenarios on what the possible outcomes are and what to do to achieve alignment by all parties.
