FREE! Managing Construction Series: Raising the Bar
Preview of the Managing Construction Course Series
Description
Join us for this 90-minute webinar introducing the Managing Construction series — six practical courses designed to help construction professionals better understand project risks, responsibilities and expectations.
Using the CCDC contract clauses as a framework, this introductory session will explore how owners, consultants and constructors can better understand their commitments to one another, manage risk and make better project decisions.
Managing Construction Series Overview
Successful projects depend on more than knowing what the contract says. They require a clear understanding of who is responsible for what, why those responsibilities matter, and where risk can arise throughout the project.
The Managing Construction series is designed to help you think differently about how projects are managed — looking beyond individual roles and industry silos to better understand the perspectives, pressures and responsibilities of everyone involved.
What makes this series different is the multi-disciplinary team of industry experts who bring experience from the owner, constructor and consultant perspectives. Rather than looking at project issues from only one side, you'll explore how decisions and contract requirements affect all parties — and how that understanding can help reduce conflict and improve project outcomes.
The six live, online courses include:
