Session 1: Differing Site Conditions: The Big Game of Shifting Risk

Differing site conditions are frequent sources of disputes between owners and contractors. Many contractors proceed with work under changed conditions with the misconception that conditions at the site, which they neither expected nor included in their bids, automatically constitute extras and should be addressed as such. Unfortunately, this assumption can lead to costly disputes between the parties of a construction project.

This presentation will discuss the various scenarios involving differing site condition claims and how the construction industry deals with those claims, both via contract and in the courts. You will be more prepared to identify those situations where differing site condition claims might arise and understand what the parties' various rights and remedies might be.

This program will help you:

• Understand the kinds of differing site condition claims
• Distinguish the two types of differing site conditions
• Take advantage of contractual provisions for dealing with differing site conditions
• Understand certain seminal judicial decisions and how they can affect you
• And much, much more!

Session 2: Implied Covenants & Obligations in Construction Contracts

Implied obligations may arise under law or in equity when design or construction agreements are executed. These implied obligations should be carefully considered by all parties including owners, architects, engineers, consultants, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Many times, these implied obligations apply because the parties have failed to enter into specific contractual provisions that might supersede certain implied obligations. This session covers 12 most important implied obligations.

This 90-minute, information-packed program will help you to:

• Explain warranty of workmanship
• Point out duty of good faith and fair dealing
• Summarize construction according to the plans and specifications
• Describe UCC warranty of merchantability
• And much, much more!
