Two-Part Legal Seminar on Construction Contracts

It’s time for a refresh on contract risks, a two-part series hosted by ECABC, MCABC and RCABC.

Contract signing is a key part of every project agreement, but before taking that step are you paying attention to the details and risks to you as the Trade Contractor? Whether new or experienced in the Electrical, Mechanical and Roofing industries, contract reviews and refreshes are important.

Construction lawyer Tyler Galbraith of Jenkins Marzban Logan LLP will deliver two webinars to help you - as contractor owners, estimators and other management - understand:

• CCA 1 and CCDC 17 Contracts and Supplementary conditions and their “hot spots”
• Delay claims – what needs to be included, timelines and the impact to the bottom line
• Change Orders vs Change Directives – what are your rights?

Time will be provided for members to ask Tyler questions.

Day 1, Feb 25, 8–9AM: CCA 1 and CCDC 17 Contracts and Supplementary Conditions

Day 2, Feb 27, 8–9AM: Delay Claims and Changes

Date & Time
