Construction contracts anticipate change because construction plans and specifications cannot perfectly represent the reality of field conditions. Differences between as-bid and as-built project constraints always arise. The problem is, if you do not recognize changes, notify the project’s owner of them, and properly document them, their cost and consequential damage to your operations will come out of your pocket – instead of contributing greatly to your bottom line.
This one-day in-house training session at your facilities provides you the know-how and the tools needed to properly handle job contract management. It was created specifically for construction companies in the infrastructure construction industry, particularly those in the highway, bridge, pipeline, underground utility, oil field construction services and site work segments.
