Description
Course Specifications
Many key people in the construction industry have never read a standard contract between the Owner and their Consultant, and then they wonder why the Issue for Construction (IFC) documents are late, RFI responses are late, submittals returns are late, but the project end date does not change.
Description:
Unlock the essentials of professional service contracts in construction. Designed for owners, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, this interactive training demystifies the CCDC 31 - the industry-standard contract for consulting services in Canadian construction projects.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of the contract's structure, key definitions, and the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved-including owners, consultants, subcontractors, and suppliers. The course covers critical topics such as scope of services, budgeting, payment terms, insurance requirements, and intellectual property rights. You'll learn how to navigate contract amendments, manage additional services, and handle changes efficiently, with special attention to the coordination and integration of subcontractors and suppliers throughout the project lifecycle.
A unique focus of this course is on the Consultant's obligation to follow their own Professional Practice Manual when producing Work Product, such as Issue for Construction Drawings, Specifications, and Professional Reports. This ensures that all deliverables meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and the highest level of professional integrity.
By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped to confidently interpret, implement, and manage CCDC 31 contracts, ensuring smoother project delivery and stronger professional relationships across all levels of the construction team.
