This seminar will take place on May 27 from 9:00am-11:00am in-person at ACI. Due to COVID-19, we understand a virtual setting may be more comfortable for some. If you would like information on attending virtually, please contact Jen Gault for details.

In the course of making sure projects are completed on time and budget, deliberate and careful contract negotiations can sometimes be overlooked. If a project goes smoothly, the finer points of your construction contract may never be scrutinized or tested. But when a contract does not go smoothly, builders can find themselves wishing they had been more deliberate during front-end contract negotiations.

This seminar will provide builders with the tools to recognize and negotiate some of the critical issues surrounding typical commercial construction contracts including:

• Contract Template Documents
• Why Project Delivery System matters
• What’s is in your contract (and what isn’t)
• Progress payments and Retainage
• Scheduling
• Change Orders
• Risk Shifting Provisions
• Dispute Resolution

Join ACI and Chris Dutton of Porter Wright for a productive discussion of these and other important issues so that you will be well positioned if a contract dispute arises.
