This course is part of the Managing Construction Series
For the first time, we are bringing virtual instructor-led expertise to your office through the synergy of multi-disciplinary trainers’ knowledge that has only been delivered at conferences. Three trainers (Project Owner, Consultant and Contractor) will share their perspectives and expertise. And it gets better! In the past, conference presentations have been focused on a one-way exchange of know-how from the speakers to you. This course moves beyond that one-way exchange to allow you to apply what you have learned and provides the opportunity for participants to ask questions and tap into the extensive real-life experience and expertise of the diversity of our accomplished trainers.
“Learning from your own mistakes is EXPERIENCE: Learning from the mistakes of others is WISDOM. Come and experience both the experience and wisdom of your trainers.”
Obtain this training BEFORE your next project or your next CONTRACTUAL DISPUTE. 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? It starts with reading and understanding the contracts and we will do just that by exploring clauses from CCDC 2, 5A, 5B, 14, and 15.
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.
This workshop will provide insights into key clauses and concepts in different project delivery methods that consistently create challenges and conflict. You’ll learn from each instructor’s experience as an ICI practitioner and gain the perspectives of a Project Owner, Consultant and Contractor on each topic. Specific scenarios will be reviewed, and you will gain insight into achieving alignment with all parties.
BE AWARE: In the nuances of the prime contract clauses, there are implications and requirements impacting all partners including the Consultants and Subcontractors.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
