From a team of multi-discipline experts...
Great insight, exceptional feedback, and actionable strategies!
Remember when it comes to contracts, it’s not about your own thoughts and assumptions; it’s about what is “written”!
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 businessess
- 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.
This three 4-hour sessions workshop with the team of multi-discipline trainers will assist you in understanding:
- Understand WHAT the risks are in CCDC, CCA and provincial standard contracts that have been modified by supplementary conditions
- Discover WHY these clauses are modified
- Develop strategies on HOW to address the impact of these clauses
- Apply what you have learned to determine COSTS associated with these clauses
