BC Housing: 4 CPD Points
80% of the people managing Construction Contracts do not read, do not understand, or are not following the Construction Contract in place between the two organizations. This can create problems for both the Contractor and the Subcontractor (and Sub-Subcontractor).
The Canadian Construction Association publishes standard documents for the Construction Industry. This is a workshop on the various CCA Sub-Contracts with an emphasis on the roles and responsibilities of the Contractor, the Sub-Contractor, and the Sub-Sub Contractor.
