Course Outline
SECRETS OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTING LAW
(Two Days)
Construction in Canada is a multi-billion dollar industry. At its foundation are a series of independent and inter-locking contractual relationships between numerous parties who do not always have the same goals and objectives. This is the complex world of construction contracting.
To manage these complex relationships effectively and with the least exposure to disaster, contract management professionals need knowledge. We give you tips, tricks and training to help you navigate this area of the law with a keen awareness of the inherent legal jeopardy.
Construction Contracting is a difficult, time-consuming and legally risky business. The laws of contract, competitive bidding, agency, negligence, engineering and architecture, all intersect to create a web of potential pitfalls and liabilities for the unwary. Industry and professional practice add to the confusion. But, with knowledge and awareness, an Owner can administer a well-done, on-time, on-budget project.
SECRETS OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTING LAW is a two-day intensive legal education seminar designed specifically for the supply management professional who needs to understand the many complex elements of contracting for construction, where the risks are and how to resolve them to achieve a well-done, well-built, on-time and on-budget project completion. We explore the laws and practices of Construction Contracting, focusing on the obligations and liabilities of the three major parties in the construction contract matrix - the Owner, the Architect-Engineer and the Contractor and explore the numerous legal risks involved in construction projects.
THE COURSE WILL COVER:
• participant's rights and responsibilities in law and in practice;
• how to avoid unnecessary legal risks by contracting more effectively;
• how to reduce costs in Construction Contracting;
• why design-build and partnering hold both promise and additional risk for all participants;
