Managing Change in Construction
Gold Seal: 1 Credit * BC Housing: 4 CPD Points
Description
Where do we run into problems most often with contract compliance and how do we mitigate these problems?
Changes in Construction Projects are inevitable and are often a source of friction. This creates problems for both the Owner and the Contractor as well as the other participants involved with the project (Consultant, Subcontractors, Sub-Subcontractors, and Suppliers).
The Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC), the Canadian Construction Association (CCA), and the Alberta Construction Association (ACA) publish standard contracts and guides for the Construction Industry.
In this half-day workshop, the Change Management Process in standard construction contracts (CCDC-2 Stipulated Price Contract, CCA-1 Stipulated Price Subcontract, CCA-19 Stipulated Price Sub-Subcontract) will be reviewed along with the following forms from CCDC-24 – A Guide to Model Forms:
- Change Order Form
- Change Directive Form
- Proposed Change Form
- Combined Proposed Change and Change Order Form
- Supplemental Instruction Form
- Notice Form
- Summary of Changes
Guides covered by the course:
- CCA 16 – Guidelines for Determining the Costs Associated with Performing Changes in the Work
- CCA Guide to Cost Predictability in Construction
- ACA Doc D – Alberta Standard Guide for Change Order Procedures
Delivery Method: Virtual Session – GoToTraining Platform
