Defective plans and specifications can cause the contractor to perform extra work to correct the defect, delay the contractor while the owner determines how to correct the defect or disrupt the contractor’s work by forcing the contractor to re-sequence its work to avoid the affected area. The contractor will be able to recover its increased costs as a result of these problems.

This recorded webinar will provide effective project management techniques to prevent, minimize and/or win change orders and claims while developing the procedures and techniques required to properly identify, prepare, evaluate, negotiate and get paid for valid change orders and claims and not pay the invalid change orders and claims.

This program will cover the parties’ rights on defective documents, review ambiguities, and help you understand the difference between a conflict and an omission. You will learn valuable techniques and insight to help increase the profits and protect the bottom line for successful merit determination and change order/claim negotiations.

Listen to this information-packed program designed to help you:

• Analyze the contractor’s rights on defective documents and find out what constitutes defective documents and learn how to win every time
