Roles & Responsibilities and Standards of Care in Construction (Contracting 101)

Introduction

Managing construction is hard. So is understanding who is responsible for what. Contracting 101 will explain the fundamentals of building construction contracting, including the roles and responsibilities of the parties and the flow of documents and information. This is a simplified framework to show the fundamental relationships of the parties in construction. In addition, since virtually no two projects are exactly alike, the framework serves as a comparison to illustrate the differences in various project delivery schemes. Contracting 101 is designed to help you understand the "Big Picture" so you can understand and avoid most common pitfalls that cause project shortcomings, defects, delays, cost over-runs, legal disputes and headaches in general. 

Through case studies, horror stories, document review and open discussion we will help you better understand the many roles played in construction contracting. This presentation is for attorneys, adjusters, property managers, real estate agents, design and construction professionals, general contractors, building officials, and anyone involved or interested in the construction business.
