WORKSHOP - Supplementaries to CCDC Contracts

Be Afraid of Supplementaries to CCDC Contracts - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly!

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:

What has caused these changes to industry standard contract clauses? Allocation of risk often gets modified in contract clauses based on Project Owner's or their lawyer's past experiences. The issue with modifications to contract clauses is the lack of understanding of what the clause means and its associated risks to Project Owners, Consultants, Contractors and other Stakeholders.

If the risk materializes:

• disputes arise,
• relationships are damaged,
• project costs can increase,
• schedules can be compromised,
• bidders can jeopardize their businesses and
• the potential for litigation increases.

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

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

• With decades of experience, the project partners (Owner, Consultant, and Contractor) will, from their perspectives, assist you to:
  
  
  
  • Understand WHAT the risks are in CCDC, CCA and provincial standard contracts that have been modified by supplementary conditions

  • Develop strategies on HOW to address the impact of these clauses
