This  two day, 6-hour instructor-led virtual training (VILT) session will help you identify common clauses that can negatively impact your rights and obligations  when using the CCA 53 – A Trade Contractor’s Guide and Checklist to Construction Contracts.

Subcontracts are becoming more and more confusing and onerous. As a Trade Contractor, it’s in your best interest to have a clear understanding of your contract before a problem threatens your business rather than after, when it’s too late.

We’ll also be taking a hands-on approach using actual subcontracts in class. Using a green, amber and red-light system, you’ll learn which subcontract clauses to be on the look-out for when reviewing contracts.

Significant clauses identified in the CCA 53 document:

• Design responsibility
• Performance specifications
• Conduit or flow-down provisions
• Scope of subcontract work
• Payment
• Insurance
• Protection of work
• Warranties
• Temporary site facilities

Who should attend?

Trade Contractors, owners, contract administration and allied professionals in the construction industry.
