Description

Benjamin Franklin once said: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

This workshop will discuss the trade contractor’s contractual responsibilities and draw attention to clauses that often appear in construction contracts or subcontracts that may affect the rights and obligations of trade contractors.

Using the CCA 53 – A Trade Contractor’s Guide and Checklist to Construction Contracts you  will review and analyze actual subcontract clauses to identify what to look for when reviewing and attempting to understand the construction contracts you are asked to bid upon and sign. After taking this course, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself and your business from potentially harmful clauses in construction contracts.

Topics include: 

  • Contract law, contract terms and conditions
  • Design responsibility
  • Performance specifications
  • Conduit or flow-down provisions
  • Scope of subcontract work
  • Payment
  • Insurance
  • On-site responsibilities
  • Development of a “Subcontract Handbook”
  • Analysis of subcontract clauses using a green, amber and red-light system

Intended Audience

Trade Contractors, owners, contract administration and allied professionals in the construction industry.
